De storm breekt los after 1914

"De storm breekt los" was made on a plate in August 1914 by De Porceleijne Fles. It's giving off a very process-oriented vibe, the kind of art where you can really see the hand of the artist, literally in the brushstrokes. The cobalt blue is really doing it for me, so classic! It gives this sense of depth, especially in the water and clouds, even though it's a flat surface. The design is simple, yet it captures the essence of a stormy day at sea. I love how the painter didn't try to hide the brushstrokes, they're right there for you to see. The leaves decorating the rim seem to echo the wind-swept tree. It reminds me of some folk art I've seen. This piece embraces ambiguity and multiple interpretations, allowing us to project our own experiences and emotions onto it.
