Storm Surge is an oil by Claude-Joseph Vernet, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene of a stormy sea, with waves crashing against the shore and a dark sky above. In the foreground, people are shown struggling to stay upright in the strong winds and rough waters. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the scene, with the artist's use of chiaroscuro creating a sense of depth and contrast between light and dark. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of energy and movement in the painting.
