Norwegian Harbor of Refuge Or Port of Refuge on the Norwegian Coast 1873

"Norwegian Harbor of Refuge Or Port of Refuge on the Norwegian Coast" is an 1873 painting by Hans Gude, a Norwegian painter known for his romantic depictions of landscapes and seascapes. The painting portrays a dramatic scene of a harbor on the Norwegian coast, with a large ship seeking refuge from a storm. The choppy waves, rugged cliffs, and the contrast between the calm of the harbor and the turbulent sea create a captivating visual narrative. This artwork is characteristic of Gude's style, which blended realism with a sense of romanticism, and remains a powerful example of 19th-century Norwegian marine painting.
