Rotskust bij Veules 1887 - 1889

"Rotskust bij Veules", an etching by Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, depicts a dramatic coastline with a towering cliff looming over a beach and sea. Created between 1887 and 1889, the print showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow, capturing the atmospheric conditions of the French coast. The composition focuses on the vastness of the landscape, emphasizing the natural grandeur of the scene. The figures, dwarfed by the sheer size of the cliff and the expanse of the sea, contribute to the sense of scale and solitude. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner. The artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
