*tempest* in style of John Brett, Philip Calderon, Arthur Hughes, Gustave Moreau, Evelyn De Morgan, and Frederic Sandys: storm at sea
An intensely dramatic landscape painting depicts a colossal, churning turquoise and emerald wave crashing against a rugged, dark, marbling rock formation on the left. The wave is iridescent, capturing and reflecting light with a rainbow of colors, as foam and sea spray explode upwards and outwards. In the immediate foreground, dark, angular rocks are battered by the rough sea, and debris from a shipwreck, including remnants of a wooden hull and mast, are tossed amidst the turbulent water. Further in the background, a large sailing ship with multiple masts struggles against mountainous waves under a stormy, ominous sky. A brilliant, jagged bolt of lightning illuminates the dark clouds above the ship, while elsewhere in the sky, warm orange and yellow hues peek through the heavy cloud cover, suggesting fleeting moments of sunset or sunrise. The overall scene is one of powerful natural forces, with a blend of realistic and fantastical elements in the vibrant colors and swirling patterns of the water and rocks.
