Herfst: storm op zee 1581 - 1633

This 17th-century engraving by Theodoor Galle depicts a dramatic scene of a storm at sea. The artist captures the powerful force of the waves, crashing against the ships and tossing them about. The engraving, titled "Herfst: storm op zee" or "Autumn: Storm at Sea," is part of a series of engravings on the theme of the seasons. The composition features a group of figures on a cliff in the foreground, watching the stormy sea. The engraving's dynamic lines and detailed depiction of the storm's fury create a sense of both awe and danger. The artwork can be found at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
