A comparable work by Kannemans is, Vessels by a Coastline, 1855 (Sotheby's, Amsterdam, 23 April 2002). In this image three ships list in a violent sea. The ship in the foreground is sinking and breaking up. The sailors are climbing into a rowing boat. Barrels and wreckage from the ship float in the foreground. The ship in the middle ground is flying the Dutch flag. | Subjects: | marine (boats in a storm) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Kannemans, Christiaan Cornelis (Dutch painter, 1812-1884) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8493... | Go to resource |
