The Wave

Ocean wave art prints: paintings and Japanese woodblock prints of waves, rough seas and breakers.

Works include Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee (1633), Winslow Homer's Northeaster and The Gulf Stream, Claude Monet's The Green Wave and The Raging Sea at Étretat, J.M.W. Turner's fishing boats, Thomas Moran's The Much Resounding Sea and Joaquín Sorolla's beach scenes. Japanese prints include Utagawa Hiroshige's coastal views, Utagawa Kuniyoshi's ship scenes, Ohara Koson's seagulls over rough sea, Kamisaka Sekka's High Wave and Kawase Hasui's Morning Sea. Ivan Bilibin's Russian fairy tale illustrations (1905) are also included.

The selection compares how Western painters and Japanese printmakers each handled the movement and force of breaking water.

The sea paintings suit living rooms, studies and coastal homes; the wide storm scenes work above a sofa or desk. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with low-glare acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
