'A Three-Masted Frigate off Capri', 19th Century Seascape, Royal Naval Museum
By Carl Frederik Sørensen

A serene marine painting from the artist’s late period showing both his unerring compositional sense and his mastery of light and perspective.

Sorensen received many honors and awards during his lifetime and his work may be found in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including a substantial collection at the Royal Naval...
