Schepen op een onstuimige zee 1838 - 1863

"Schepen op een onstuimige zee" (Ships on a stormy sea) is a drawing by Frederik Hendrik Weissenbruch, a Dutch artist known for his maritime scenes. Created between 1838 and 1863, the artwork depicts a dramatic seascape with two ships battling against a powerful storm. Weissenbruch's meticulous attention to detail captures the turbulent movement of the waves, the wind whipping through the sails, and the sense of urgency on board the vessels. The drawing is a testament to his skill in portraying the power and beauty of the sea. The work is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
