The picture shows a dramatic seascape. Dark storm clouds gather in the sky, while the glow flashing between them illuminates the surface. Waves break off a sandy beach surrounded by rocks. Far out at sea, sailboats can be seen, presumably heading for safety from the gathering storm. The scene looks calm but tense at the same time, as if captured in the moment before a natural explosion.

Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) was born in Pennsylvania into a family of warehouse keepers. Already as a youth, he visited Europe to learn portrait painting. After returning to America, he lived as a wandering artist. In 1843, his friends Jasper Francis Cropsey and Thomas Cole of the Hudson River School artistic society brought him to landscape painting. For inspiration, he travelled to the tropics, where he painted hummingbirds and Magnolia on a Gold Velvet. During his life, Heade was not recognized as a Romantic artist. In the 1940s, his work finally started attracting the interest of scientists, historians and art collectors. In 2004, one of Head’s paintings was part of the US Postal Service.
