Nødhavn Ved Norskekysten

Hans Gude · 1873

Why it's great

A ship finds shelter from a storm at a safe harbor on the Norwegian coast, with a sky of clouds. Hans Gude, a leading Norwegian painter, was a master of ships and the sea. He taught many younger painters in Germany. It's a dramatic coast picture.
