This painting shows a busy harbor at sunrise. Three large ships with tall masts and green sails are anchored near the shore. The water is calm, and the sky has a soft glow of orange and yellow. In the background, a few small figures stand on the rocky beach, and more ships dot the horizon. The artist used warm colors to make the scene feel peaceful and slightly hazy. The light looks soft, almost like the sun is just waking up. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
