"Haven Van Oostende" is a maritime painting by German artist Hermann Ottomar Herzog. It depicts a harbor in Ostend, Belgium, with choppy waves crashing against the pier, a small lighthouse and a few ships in the distance. The painting utilizes soft brushstrokes to create a romantic yet turbulent scene, highlighting the power of the sea and the vulnerability of man in its presence. Herzog's career spanned over 90 years and his work is known for its depiction of dramatic seascapes and coastal scenes, often featuring the interplay of light and water.
