Rough sea beside a jetty is a 1849 oil by Carl Frederik Sørensen, a Realism work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts a rough sea beside a jetty, with waves crashing against the shore. The scene is set in a gloomy, overcast day, with dark clouds looming in the background. The artist has used oil paint to create a sense of movement and energy in the waves, which are depicted in various shades of blue and white. The painting is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume. The artist has also used impasto, a technique that involves applying thick layers of paint to the canvas, to create a textured, almost three-dimensional effect. The painting is held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
