This is one of my most favorite paintings. The calm yet powerful presentation is remarkable. Whenever I look at this picture I wonder what this man, whoever he is, could be possibly thinking about or where he just came from. If I had to guess he just came from finding out that his wife was having an affair for 5 years behind his back and this is the only place he can go to think while the thunderous noise of the waves crashes over his mind. It is only him and nature in this picture and that is profound to me. How he is so small in comparison to the world around him. That no matter how big we may think we are there is always something bigger. I want a picture like this somewhere in the world at some point in my life. It will remind me to always take time out to think and reflect and to admire the vast beauty and power of God's creation.
