This maritime scene by Romain Steppe captures the bustling activity off the Belgian coast: a steamboat ploughs through foaming waves, while several sailing ships manoeuvre on the horizon. The interplay of light and shadow over the sea and the cloudy sky lends the work a powerful realism with an impressionistic touch.
The painting has been carefully refreshed in our restoration studio using various techniques, preserving its original character. It is presented in a richly decorated new frame.
