Stormy Sea

Stormy Sea was painted by one of Sweden's foremost 19th-century painters, Marcus Larson. His paintings were known for being dramatic; they primarily depicted rivers under violent skies as well as shipwrecks in storms. Today we present his classic scene of a dramatic and intense seascape. Known for his romantic and powerful depictions of nature, Larson captures the raw energy of a stormy sea, and a ship struggling against the elements. The dark, turbulent sky and the churning waters convey a sense of danger and the overwhelming force of nature, a theme central to Larson’s work. This painting is considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his mastery of atmospheric and maritime scenes.

I love such marine depictions! Because of that, I've created a set of 50 postcards dedicated to the best seascapes in art. Check them out!  :)
