Norwegian Coast During a Storm is a 1819 ink by Johan Christian Dahl, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a wild, stormy sea crashing against jagged cliffs. Waves are thick and chaotic, while the sky above is full of swirling clouds. The lines are rough, almost like scratches, making the scene feel raw and dramatic. The artist used a technique that lets ink sit in the grooves of the plate, creating those deep, shadowy tones. This was a way to show movement and mood in the print. Look up etching to see how artists like this made their marks.
