About this work

A painting of a storm-battered rocky coast, where large waves break over boulders and a stone outcrop while a ship is tossed near a high cliff. Dark, heavy clouds open to a patch of light above the churning water. The work is attributed to Andreas Achenbach, dated 1835, and held by the Hamburger Kunsthalle.
