A Storm on a Mediterranean Coast (painting (visual work); Claude-Joseph Vernet (French, 1714 - 1789) (French Artist); 1767; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 2002.9.1)

Note: Mediterranean seascape with figures, maritime buildings and ships. An English merchant vessel battles raging seas, while the exhausted, anguished survivors of a shipwreck are rescued. A diligent student of nature, Vernet rendered the elemental drama using a naturalistic palette dominated by greens, grays, and browns, applied in lively, sophisticated strokes.
