Description: | The painter of this Italianate coastal scene was clearly influenced by the celebrated Claude-Joseph Vernet. The imaginary view shows ships foundering at sea, while on the rocky shore baggage is being saved and a drowned woman is carried away from a wreck. The effect of light in this balanced yet dramatic composition emphasises the patches of clear sky against the storm clouds and the foam on the edges of the huge waves. | Subjects: | figure; landscape; marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vernet, Claude-Joseph (French painter and draftsman, 1714-1789) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8561... | Go to resource |
