Stormy Seas 1886

Antonio Jacobsen's "Stormy Seas" (1886) depicts a dramatic seascape with three ships battling the elements. The central ship, with billowing white sails, cuts through choppy waters under a threatening sky. The artist's use of dark, moody hues contrasts with the bright white of the sails, creating a striking visual impact. Jacobsen, a renowned marine painter, captures the raw power of the sea and the resilience of those who navigate it. This work showcases the beauty and danger of the maritime world.
