Sea Serpent 1892

Theodor Kittelsen's "Sea Serpent" (1892) depicts a monstrous sea creature rising from the waves, its massive serpentine body twisting and turning as it emerges from the sea. The creature's menacing presence is highlighted by the small boat and its passengers, who are dwarfed in comparison to the serpentine behemoth. The dramatic scene, with the sea serpent partially concealed by the surging waves, evokes a sense of awe and fear in the viewer, showcasing Kittelsen's masterful ability to capture the fantastical and the fearsome in his art.
