The Wave 1898

"The Wave" (1898) by Roderic O'Conor depicts a powerful seascape with thick, visible brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and energy. The painting focuses on the crashing waves with a view of the distant horizon, capturing the raw power of the sea. The composition emphasizes the force and beauty of the waves, creating a dramatic yet peaceful scene. This Impressionist artwork, now housed in the York Art Gallery, captures the essence of the sea through the artist's unique perspective.
