About the piece
Painted in 1891 by Michael Zeno Diemer, this oil study depicts a three-master navigating the Strait of Messina. The work is defined by its dynamic treatment of the white-capped Mediterranean waters and the luminous, expansive quality of the cloud-filled sky above the rugged Sicilian coastline.
