A Wreck on the West Coast of Jutland at Sunset 1847

"A Wreck on the West Coast of Jutland at Sunset" is an oil painting by Danish artist C.F. Sørensen, created in 1847. The painting, currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a dramatic scene of a shipwrecked vessel on the Jutland coast at sunset. The scene is dominated by a fiery sky, with dramatic clouds casting long shadows across the water and beach. The wreck itself is partially submerged, and small figures are visible on the shore, adding a sense of human drama to the scene. This maritime painting, with its emphasis on natural phenomena, exemplifies Sørensen's interest in capturing the beauty and power of the natural world.
