Marine is a 1851 oil by Anton Melbye, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a ship navigating through choppy waters, with its sails billowing in the wind. The vessel is positioned at an angle, with its bow facing the left side of the canvas. In the background, a smaller ship can be seen on the horizon, while the sky above is filled with dark, ominous clouds. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama in the scene, with the contrast between light and dark emphasizing the turmoil of the sea. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of energy and movement. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Anton Melbye, who was known for his dramatic seascapes.
