This is a reproduction of “The Shipwreck” of 1775 by Hendrik Kobell.  This Dutch artist was twenty-four years old when this was produced having been born in Rotterdam.  He had studied in Rotterdam and England but returned to the Netherlands in 1770 when he began to study in Amsterdam under Jacob de Vos and Cornelis Ploos van Amstel.  He was soon elected to the Academy after which he settled in Rotterdam.  His oils and watercolors were noted for their realism.  He was quite successful and died in Rotterdam on August 3, 1799.  This work is 134 cm wide and 92 cm high and is at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
