This painting is a highlight of Dutch Romanticism. It depicts the futility of man in the midst of nature. In a storm, a three-master has run aground and sunk. The crew desperately search the beach for survivors. Sunbeams attempt to break through the dark sky and offer a view of the overwhelming, sheer cliffs, making people seem even smaller. 1837
