This painting shows two big sailing ships in rough, choppy water. The waves crash around them, and the sky is dark and stormy. Both ships have tall masts with lots of ropes and sails, and one ship is flying a red-and-white flag. The ships look like they’re talking to each other—maybe sending signals. The artist used thick, dark blues and grays to make the storm feel real. If you like this dramatic scene, check out Romanticism.
