Zeilschepen op stormachtige zee 1822 - 1845

"Zeilschepen op stormachtige zee" ("Sailing Ships in Stormy Seas") is a lithograph by Dutch artist Franciscus Bernardus Waanders, dating from 1822 to 1845. The print depicts a dramatic seascape with two ships struggling in a stormy sea, one caught in turbulent waters, while the other sails majestically in the distance. The composition is balanced between the chaos of the foreground and the serene distance, showcasing Waanders' skillful depiction of maritime scenes and the power of nature. This artwork can be found in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent museum in the Netherlands, and is a prime example of Dutch Romanticism in art.
