Gezicht op een schip getroffen door blikseminslag op zee 18th century

This 18th-century print, titled "Gezicht op een schip getroffen door blikseminslag op zee," by Beauvais, depicts a dramatic scene of a ship struck by lightning at sea. The ship is engulfed in flames and smoke, while a bright bolt of lightning pierces the stormy sky, reflecting off the churning waves. Two figures on a cliff in the foreground witness the scene, adding a sense of scale and human drama. This artwork demonstrates the use of color and detail in capturing a moment of intense natural power and human vulnerability in the face of nature's fury.
