A dramatic and atmospheric marine painting by the German artist Max Jensen, known for his masterful depictions of the restless sea. In this work, Jensen captures the untamed power of nature — dark, turbulent waves rise under a storm-laden sky, while a faint sail appears on the horizon, emphasizing the vastness and solitude of the ocean. Trained at the Berlin Academy of Arts and later at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Jensen was celebrated for his ability to convey the movement and light of the sea with remarkable realism and emotional depth. His works were exhibited in Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, where he earned a reputation among the leading maritime painters of his era. The composition demonstrates Jensen’s refined control of light: soft glimmers break through the clouds and reflect across the crests of the waves, contrasting the deep blue-greens of the water with the dramatic gray sky. A superb example of late 19th-century German marine painting. Please note: The frame is only a gift
