Isabey, the foremost seascape painter of his generation, sketched in Normandy throughout the 1850s. This dramatic scene, composed as if witnessed from the edge of the surf, was probably painted in his studio based on memory. It evokes the Romantic milieu of the artist's formative years, when he was influenced by Gericault, Delacroix, and Bonington.
