Ships between Cliffs
1650
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Ships between Cliffs is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows three ships anchored near rocky cliffs. The water is choppy, and the rocks rise sharply from the shore. On the left, two smaller boats sit close to the jagged coastline, while a larger ship with sails is on the right. Near the shore, two tiny huts sit on the flat ground, and two people stand on a rocky outcrop, one walking away. The photo’s grainy texture makes the scene feel distant and old. The cliffs look dramatic, almost like they’re guarding the ships. If you like this kind of coastal scene, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more images like this.
