62. A View off the Coast of Holland, during a storm. A
large Dutch lighterman, or coaster, rolling on its side, is on
the left; five sailors are seen on its deck, two of whom are
using their utmost efforts to raise the main-sail, while two
others are lowering the jib-sail. On the opposite side is a ship
of war under jury-masts; beyond it is a similar vessel in
full sail; and various small craft are visible in the distance.
Volumes of clouds, surcharged with rain, roll heavily along,
and cast their broad shadows over the turbid ocean, the gloom
of which is feebly relieved by the appearance of day-break in
the East. This is one of the few pictures in which the pre-
eminent talents and genius of the master discover themselves.
