About this work

This painting, titled Ships Tossed in a Gale and attributed to Aelbert Cuyp, shows two sailing vessels battered by heavy waves beneath a dark, turbulent sky. A streak of lightning cuts across the clouds, while sailors work the rigging and a small rowboat fights the surf in the foreground. A low building stands on the shore at right, under a broken sky that brightens toward the horizon.
