Zeilschip nabij de kust in het donker 1874 - 1909

"Zeilschip nabij de kust in het donker" (Sailing Ship near the Coast in the Dark) is a print by Belgian artist Omer Coppens (1864-1926). The piece, created between 1874 and 1909, captures a ship sailing through a dark, moonlit sea. The print depicts the ship's silhouette against the dark water, with the faint glow of a light illuminating the scene. The use of light and shadow, typical of the Impressionist style, creates a sense of mystery and serenity. The image also alludes to the dangers of the sea at night, highlighting the reliance on navigation tools and the ship's small light in the vast darkness.
