About this work

This black-and-white image shows a small boat struggling in rough waves. Two people are inside, gripping the sides as the water crashes around them. In the distance, two larger ships sail calmly under a stormy sky. The tiny boat’s struggle stands out against the steady ships, making the weather look even more dangerous. The waves are wild, but the sky’s drama is the real focus. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature’s power in their work.
