"The Wave" is a 1901 oil painting by Australian artist Julian Ashton (1851-1942). The painting depicts a crashing wave breaking on a rocky shore, with the sea painted in vibrant greens and blues. Ashton is known for his depictions of Australian landscapes, and this painting is a striking example of his mastery of light and color. The powerful wave and the rugged coastline evoke a sense of raw beauty and the untamed forces of nature.
