Two rescue boats are battling dangerous waves to come to the aid of a large merchant ship, which is already keeling precariously to one side. This painting represents the courageous rescue of the crew from the Austrian merchant ship “Pegno dʼAmicizia” that had run into difficulties near Brouwershaven off the Dutch coast in October 1852. Marine painter Christiaan Cornelis Kannemans, who specialized in depictions of stormy seascapes, brilliantly demonstrates his artistic skills in this work.
