Sicilianische Brigg, Austria 1900

Heinrich Kuhn's "Sicilianische Brigg, Austria" from 1900 is a striking black and white depiction of a brig, a type of sailing ship, sailing in the water. The artist's skill in capturing the subtle interplay of light and shadow is evident in the depiction of the ship's sails, its reflection in the water, and the mountainous backdrop. Kuhn, who lived from 1866 to 1944, is known for his marine paintings, which often feature dramatic seascapes.
