EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the raw power and danger of the high seas, as depicted in Thomas Buttersworth's oil on canvas masterpiece. Titled "Shipwreck off a Rocky Coast" this artwork transports us to a tumultuous scene where crashing waves collide with treacherous rocks, threatening to claim yet another victim.
