About this work

This landscape painting shows a flat-topped mountain rising above a coastal settlement with a church spire, seen across choppy water where a three-masted sailing ship with furled and partly unfurled sails sits at the left edge. Dramatic clouds and warm light fill the sky above the rocky slopes.
