THE SHIPWRECKED Oil on canvas. 29 x 37 cm. In decorative partially gilded frame. We would like to thank Alastair Laing for kind information. Rocky coast in a storm with depiction of numerous shipwrecked people who have saved themselves on the illuminated rocks. Behind them, wreckage with figures on top, some gesticulating violently, and on the right, slanting masts of a sunken ship against a dark, partially illuminated stormy sky. In the background on the left a coastal strip with a lighthouse. Annotation: The artist's work consists largely of landscapes, most of which were created in the 1780s, when he also discovered marine painting. He managed to capture light and atmospheric effects in a very sensitive and differentiated way.
