Via Sistina Elmo c. 1841 - 1847

"Via Sistina Elmo" is a watercolor painting by Johann Nepomuk Rauch, dating back to the mid-19th century. The painting captures a dramatic scene of a rocky coastline, with crashing waves and a small boat tossed about in the rough sea. The viewer is drawn into the scene by the artist's use of light and shadow, which creates a sense of depth and movement. The painting is currently on display at the Städel Museum, where art enthusiasts can observe Rauch's captivating depiction of the Italian seascape.
