Fresh Breeze against a high Coast is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows three old sailing ships on choppy water, with waves crashing around them. One ship in the front is listing badly, while the others seem to be struggling to stay upright. In the background, a rocky coastline and a few buildings are barely visible through the fog. The fog makes everything look distant and hazy, like the ships are fighting against a storm. The way the waves are shown looks dramatic, almost like the artist wanted to capture the raw power of the sea. If you like this kind of dramatic seascape, check out the technique: chiaroscuro next.
