DescriptionA large, stormy and dramatic landscape of a rocky coastline. A ship is capsizing in giant rolling waves in the bottom right foreground, with two men onboard, one holding onto the broken mast. At the center of the image, on the peak of the rocky cliffs, a tower is lit with flames and smoke rising from its open top. In the bottom left foreground, four figures prepare a camp fire while two others make their way up the hillside to join them.
