Collection

Stormy sea and ship paintings, framed

Painters have tried to catch the sea at its worst for four hundred years. Rembrandt's Storm on the Sea of Galilee (1633), his only seascape, was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990 and has never been found. Willem van de Velde the Younger painted English warships heeling in a gale in the 1670s and 1680s.

Ivan Aivazovsky, who painted the sea from memory, made The Ninth Wave in 1850: survivors clinging to a mast as the sun breaks through. Claude-Joseph Vernet's harbour in stormy weather, Winslow Homer's morning after a storm at sea, Frederick Judd Waugh's breakers and Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa are here too.

These are dramatic pictures, so they suit a study, an office or a large living-room wall, at Large where the file allows it. Each is printed at its true shape, nothing cropped or stretched, and arrives framed and ready to hang.

16 works in this collection, dated 1633 to 1925. Most represented: Ivan Aivazovsky (4) and Willem van de Velde the Younger (2). Sources include Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, Rijksmuseum, and State Russian Museum.
