Original description by The J. Paul Getty Museum (© - The J. Paul Getty Museum - www.getty.edu)

Claude-Joseph Vernet depicted a storm's aftermath: dark clouds above an angry sea, a shipwrecked boat and its anxious survivors, and listing ships in the distance. As the sea furiously beats against the shoreline, waves explode beyond the rocks in a froth of white. The motion of the waves, the distant rain shaft, the battered ship, and even the bodies of the fleeing castaways fill the scene with strong, opposing diagonal lines. The lighthouse standing solidly upright at the painting's center counters all of this activity.

The strong colors of the shipwrecked survivors' clothing stand out against the palette of greens, grays, and browns in the turbulent sea. Clearing skies cast the survivors in an eerie glow; dark tones at the left and lower edges and in the waves themselves draw further attention to the bright figures.

The scene as a whole suggests the powerful force of nature over man. Vernet's companion piece for this painting, A Calm at a Mediterranean Port, presents a sharply contrasting scene of a harbor in more placid weather.

Product materials you can choose from

For every fine art print we offer different materials and sizes. The following options are available for individualization:

  • Canvas: A printed canvas, which shall not be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is a digital copy applied directly on canvas fabric. Furthermore, a canvas print creates a cosy, comfy appearance. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Because of thatcanvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.
  • Print on glossy acrylic glass: A glossy acrylic glass print, often referred to as a fine art print on plexiglass, will change an original artwork into great décor. Moreover, it is a good alternative option to canvas and aluminidum dibond fine art prints. With an acrylic glass art print sharp contrasts and minor details will be recognizeable thanks to the very fine gradation of the picture. The real glass coating protects your selected art print against light and external influences for several decades.
  • Poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a printed sheet of cotton canvas paper with a fine surface finish. A poster print is suited for framing the art print with a custom frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin between 2-6cm round about the artwork, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
  • Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an impressive depth. The colors of the print are bright and luminous, the fine details are clear and crisp, and you can literally feel a matte appearance of the print. The print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a sophisticated way to display artworks, because it draws focus on the replica of the artwork.
