Analysis: A Storm On A Mediterranean Coast
As I stood there looking into the painting as if it were a portal back in time. I could think of nothing but what it must have felt like to be abandoned from your ship by no choice of your own, as illustrated in “A Storm on a Mediterranean Coast” by Claude-Joseph Vernet.
