Catalogue Note
In the present work, dark ships on choppy waters are silhouetted against a stormy sky. Volanakis captures the strength of nature and the unpredictability of the elements, both of which he experienced at first-hand during his time travelling the Mediterranean in a training ship of the Austrian navy.
