This painting shows a stormy sea with a ship sinking in rough waves. On the right, two figures stand on a rocky shore, watching the chaos. The sky is dark with swirling clouds, and the water looks wild and dangerous. The ship’s mast is bent, and the waves crash high around it. The figures on shore seem small against the storm, their clothes blending into the rocky ground. If you want to see more paintings like this, look up chiaroscuro.
