More about this artwork

We present to you "De vloed" (The Flood), a striking etching crafted by the Dutch artist Bernard Essers in 1940. This piece showcases a masterful display of fluid dynamism and atmospheric tension. Essers utilizes rich black and contrasting white to depict the swirling, chaotic motion of a surging sea. The waves curl and twist with a fierce power, capturing the unpredictable and tumultuous nature of water during a flood.Adding to the scene’s vivid emotional impact are the seabirds, rendered with an almost ethereal lightness, soaring above and within the storm. The inclusion of these birds amidst the aquatic turmoil injects a sense of scale and life into the composition, emphasizing both the beauty and peril of nature’s forces.Bernard Essers' expertise in line work and texture brings an intensity that draws the viewer not only to the awe of natural disasters but also to a contemplation of their effect on living beings and their environments.
