This painting shows a stormy harbor with three ships in rough water. The sky is dark and cloudy, while the waves crash against the shore. On the right, a small building or dock sits near the water’s edge, and one ship has a red flag. The artist copied this scene from another painter, Jacob van Ruisdael, who often painted Dutch landscapes. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
