This painting shows big sailing ships on a choppy sea. Smaller boats with people rowing float nearby. The sky is light with soft clouds. Waves crash around the vessels. Notice how the artist used light colors for the sky and darker tones for the water. This makes the ships stand out. Check out the Romanticism movement next to see more paintings like this.
