Raderstoomboot in de storm 1844 - 1845

"Raderstoomboot in de storm" (Paddle Steamer in the Storm) is a lithograph created by Léon Jean Baptiste Sabatier between 1844 and 1845. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a dramatic scene of a paddle steamer battling a stormy sea, with waves crashing against the vessel and dark clouds looming above. Sabatier's meticulous detail captures the intensity of the storm and the ship's struggle against the elements, offering a glimpse into the maritime world of the 19th century. The work is a testament to Sabatier's skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey both the beauty and the power of nature.
