Early Moonrise
1910
Frederick Judd Waugh, often called the 'painter of the sea,' captures the raw power of the ocean in this moody 1910 masterpiece. Thick, churning waves crash against dark, jagged rocks under a heavy, teal sky, with a pale moonlight struggling to pierce through the gloom. Waugh was known for spending hours watching the waves to get their movement just right, and you can almost hear the roar of the surf in his bold, textured brushstrokes. It's a perfect example of his realistic yet dramatic approach to marine landscapes.
