Andreas Achenbach can be considered a painterly wunderkind of the 19th century, who studied painting at the age of twelve at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, among others with Wilhelm von Schadow. He promoted his talent at an early age through extensive travels to Holland, the Scandinavian countries, Italy and France. The more than thousand paintings he painted in the course of his life are predominantly to be assigned to Landscape painting. His preferred subject were large-sized seascapes. In the painting "A Sea Storm on the Norwegian Coast" from 1837, forces of nature roar with furious force. Meter-high waves break in the storm at karstic rocks in the foreground and threaten to tear a ship into the abyss. Achenbach has painted this large-format piece of sea in strong blue.
The viewer, standing in amazement in front of this work in Frankfurt's Städelmuseum, almost sees himself exposed to the dangers of the wild, threatening waves that crash against the rocks with all their might. He may ask himself anxiously whether the ship, whose bow will soon rise vertically out of the water, will withstand this violence or whether its sinking is inevitable.
With his sharp eye for details and the lifelike reproduction of impressive landscapes Andreas Achenbach is regarded as founder of the German Realism. Highly respected for his work by the greats in politics and society, the painter was buried in Düsseldorf by downright princely standards.
