Abandon Ship: Shipwreck in Art

$52

The sea has always held a special fascination. It carried people to new continents and enabled trade and progress. But the sea, dark and stormy, also represented a threat to human life.

Abandon Ship is a dramatic, tempestuous, glorious journey through art history - a journey spanning several centuries, from medieval mythical disasters via Romantic tragedies to shipwrecks in the contemporary realist era. Spectacular paintings have transformed shipwrecks into powerful metaphors for human vulnerability. These works depict fear and bravery, hope and desperation, life and death - and people's struggle against immense danger. Rocky coastlines and gales can reduce human ambitions to splinters.
