About this work

This painting shows a dramatic storm over a rocky coastline, with dark clouds, crashing surf, and a windblown tree leaning over the shore. A group of figures on the rocks reacts in alarm while a damaged ship lies among the breakers, and a fortified tower stands on the cliff at left.
