A dramatic depiction of the wreck of a sailing ship in the port of Livorno in the 18th century, by Jakob Philipp Hackert. On dry land a sailor carries a shipwrecked woman on his shoulders, while another castaway is about to be rescued. A strong wind is blowing, the storm rages offshore, and the ship, now settled in the water, can no longer manoeuvre. The sea is very rough, with great white-crested waves. The lighthouse is shown in the background, where the sky is clear, while near the harbour there are dark, threatening clouds.
