Fregat i en storm med rebede undersejl is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a large sailing ship caught in a stormy sea. The waves are rough and dark, crashing around the boat. Above, the sky is a mix of yellow, gray, and pink clouds, with a sliver of light breaking through. The ship looks like it’s struggling, with its sails partly furled. The artist used bold brushstrokes to show the rough water and dramatic sky. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
