A Storm Behind the Isle of Wight

Julius Caesar Ibbetson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a rocky coastline with waves crashing against the rocks. Dark and stormy sky with lightning. A group of people in 18th-century clothing on the right side, some standing and one lying down. A large rocky cliff or island in the background. A small boat wrecked on the shore on the left side. The stormy sea with white-capped waves. The Isle of Wight is visible in the distance.
