"Stormy Sea" is a small watercolor painting created in 1870 by Norwegian artist Peder Balke. The painting depicts a tumultuous sea with large waves and a flock of birds flying in the stormy sky. The artist used dramatic strokes of black, white, and grey watercolor to depict the stormy scene, which is characteristic of Balke's work. The painting is currently housed in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo, Norway.
