Cliff on the Seashore is a 1630 by Bartolommeo Coriolano, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a rocky cliff jutting into a stormy sea. Waves crash against the jagged rocks, and a small boat struggles in the distance. Dark clouds loom overhead, while a lone figure clings to the cliff’s edge, gripping a rope. In the background, a church spire peeks above the waves. The artist used bold lines and deep shadows to make the scene feel dramatic and intense. The rough texture of the print adds to the sense of chaos in the storm. Look up Baroque next to see more art with this bold, emotional style.
Bartolommeo Coriolano was an Italian printmaker during the Baroque period, mainly in colour woodcuts.
