Gestrand schip c. 1851 - 1883

"Gestrand schip" (Beached Ship) is a lithograph by Frederik Lodewijk Huygens, a Dutch artist known for his maritime scenes. The artwork, dated c. 1851-1883, depicts a ship stranded on a rocky shore. The ship is tilted at an angle, its masts and sails partially submerged. The scene captures the dramatic tension of the situation as figures in the foreground attempt to salvage goods from the wreck. This work exemplifies Huygens’s skill in capturing the power and drama of the sea. The print is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
