About the Item

A dramatic and finely executed marine oil painting by Alexander Reich-Staffelstein, a noted early 20th-century German seascape artist. The work depicts a sailing vessel cutting through choppy waters beneath a heavy, clouded sky. A shaft of light breaks through the clouds and illuminates the sea’s surface, casting a silvery glow that guides the eye toward the horizon. Smaller ships dot the distance, emphasizing the sense of scale and open sea. Painted with precision and atmosphere, this work reflects Reich-Staffelstein’s mastery of light and movement in maritime settings. The subtle gradations in the sky and the dynamic rendering of the waves speak to the artist’s academic training and romantic sensibility. Signed “A. Reich-Staffelstein” in the lower right and presented in a well-preserved, period silver-toned frame that enhances the overall harmony of the scene.
