“Rough Seas near Lobster Point,” created by Robert Henri in 1903, belongs to the American Realism art movement and falls under the marina genre. The artwork vividly captures the tumultuous nature of the ocean with its bold and expressive brushstrokes. The swirling masses of dark and light hues depict the clash between the powerful waves and the rocky coastline. The palette, predominantly a mix of deep blues, greens, and whites, conveys a sense of dynamic motion and raw energy, characteristic of a stormy sea. The darkened skies and foamy crests further intensify the dramatic atmosphere, emphasizing the ferocity and relentless power of nature.
