Vrag ved Skagens fyr 1899

"Vrag ved Skagens fyr" (Wreckage at the Skagen Lighthouse), a 1899 etching by Danish artist Carl Locher, depicts a dramatic seascape. The artwork showcases Locher's mastery of detail and texture in capturing the stormy sea, the crashing waves, and the wrecked ship’s remains. The distant Skagen lighthouse stands tall against the stormy sky, creating a sense of contrast and highlighting the perilous nature of the sea. The artwork's atmospheric depiction of the sea captures a moment of both beauty and danger, embodying the romantic and melancholic themes often found in Locher’s work.
