Sea Storms 1665

Wenceslaus Hollar's etching "Sea Storms," created in 1665, depicts a dramatic scene of three ships struggling against turbulent waves. The artist, known for his detailed and meticulous work, captures the intensity of the storm through the swirling lines of the sea and the dark, ominous clouds above. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Hollar's skill in conveying both the power of nature and the vulnerability of man.
