About the Item

Gouache of a Shipwreck in a Storm with Gothic Ruins, Early 19th Century Technique: Gouache on paper Period: Early 19th century Description: This romantic painting depicts a dramatic scene where the stormy sea engulfs large ships, while small human figures on the shore desperately struggle to survive. Nature reigns supreme as vegetation starts to envelop the Gothic ruins on the promontory, symbolizing the triumph of nature over human constructions. The tiny figures, dwarfed by the vast landscape, emphasize the contrast between human fragility and the unstoppable power of the elements. The stormy sky is illuminated by a dusky pink light, heightening the unsettling atmosphere of the scene. This dramatic lighting enhances the contrast between the violence of the storm and the delicate hues. Frame: Modern frame with green velvet passe-partout, enhancing the chromatic contrasts of the painting. Dimensions with frame: L 57 cm x H 46 cm Dimensions without frame: L 43 cm x H 32 cm Condition: Excellent. The patina of time enriches the atmosphere without compromising the readability of the artwork.Technique: Gouache on paper
