Myrskyinen merimaisema is an unspecified by Jan van Goyen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a stormy seascape with rough waves crashing. Three small boats struggle against the wind, their sails half-lowered. The sky is thick with dark, swirling clouds, while the water below churns in deep blues and grays. Notice how the artist used light and shadow to make the storm feel real—dark clouds loom over the boats, while patches of sky peek through. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this technique works.
Jan van Goyen painted everyday Dutch landscapes in the 1600s, often showing windmills, rivers, and peasants at work.
