Drie schepen in een storm op zee nabij rotsen 1767

"Drie schepen in een storm op zee nabij rotsen" (Three ships in a storm at sea near rocks), a 1767 print by James Watson, depicts a dramatic seascape. The scene showcases three ships battling a tempestuous sea, their masts straining against the wind. The ships are caught in a violent storm, with crashing waves and ominous clouds looming overhead. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, or light and shadow, creates a sense of depth and drama, further emphasizing the perilous situation of the ships. This print serves as a reminder of the dangerous nature of the sea and the resilience of those who sailed upon it.
