Schepen op stormachtige zee 1840 - 1843

"Schepen op stormachtige zee" (Ships on a stormy sea) is a lithograph created by Dutch artist Franciscus Bernardus Waanders between 1840 and 1843. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene of a ship battling a tempestuous sea. The scene captures the tension and danger of maritime travel in the 19th century, with the ship struggling against the powerful waves. This dramatic seascape, with its detailed depiction of the ship and its crew, is a fine example of Waanders' skill as a maritime artist. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the Romantic era's fascination with the power and beauty of nature.
