Sailboat in Rough SeasEntry/Object ID
2023.25.0012Description
Oil on canvas by Papito Suarez depicting a sailboat navigating a tumultuous sea under a dynamic, partly cloudy sky, characterized by energetic brushstrokes and vivid colors. The boat, angled against the churning waves, appears to be driven by a strong wind, with its sails billowing dramatically. The water is depicted with swirling blues, greens, and whites, capturing the movement and power of the ocean. Two indistinct figures onboard face the challenges of the journey, while the surrounding elements reveal an impressionistic style that emphasizes emotion and motion.Type of Painting
