1701
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Storm at Sea is a 1701 by Ludolf Bakhuizen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a stormy sea with a ship in rough waters. Waves crash around the vessel, which is leaning dangerously. In the background, a lighthouse stands on rocky cliffs, and a small town sits near the shore. The sky is dark with heavy clouds, making the scene feel tense. The artist used lines and shading to show the chaos of the waves and wind. This kind of dramatic scene was common in Dutch art of the time. Look up Baroque to see more art like this.
Ludolf Bakhuizen (28 December 1630 or 1632 – 7 November 1708) was a German-born Dutch painter, draughtsman, calligrapher and printmaker.
