About this work

This painting depicts a dramatic scene with a man in the center, wearing a red cloak and holding a trident. He is surrounded by two nude women and a horse, with a ship in the background. The sky is filled with dark clouds and figures, adding to the sense of turmoil. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a striking contrast between light and dark, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, conveying a sense of energy and movement. The painting is part of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp's collection, and its use of chiaroscuro is reminiscent of the technique's origins in Renaissance art.
