About the Item
This expressive vintage oil painting depicts a dramatic coastal seascape with powerful rolling waves crashing against rocky outcrops beneath a turbulent, light-filled sky. The artist skillfully captures the movement and weight of the sea, using layered brushwork and a restrained palette of deep greens, blues, and soft grays, contrasted by luminous highlights in the foam and clouds. The composition conveys both the force and rhythm of nature, a hallmark of early- to mid-20th-century European maritime painting.
The scene and painterly approach align with Northern European seascape traditions, where emphasis is placed on atmospheric conditions, wave structure, and changing light rather than narrative elements. The signature visible in the lower right reads “Mody Kersten”, consistent with the style and placement seen in works by regional maritime painters of the period. Based on technique, subject matter, and materials, the painting likely dates to the first half of the 20th century.
📏 Measurements: Framed 35.5” x 29.5”; Painting 30” x 24”
🎨 Medium: Oil on canvas
🖋️ Artist: Signed “Mody Kersten” (lower right)
🖼️ Frame: Vintage gilt wood frame with visible age wear and patina; structurally sound and complementary to the artwork

🔎 Supporting Attribution Note
The signature “Mody-Kersten,” the maritime subject matter, and the painterly handling of waves and sky correspond with Northern European seascape traditions, particularly those influenced by German and Scandinavian coastal painting of the early 20th century. While full biographical documentation on the artist remains limited, the stylistic qualities, materials, and execution support attribution to a European maritime painter active during this period.
Please note: Actual colors may vary slightly from the photos shown due to lighting, camera quality, and screen settings. Most items sold by MaksArtGallery are antique, vintage, or pre-owned and may show signs of age such as patina, craquelure, scuffs, or general wear. These characteristics add authenticity and charm to the artwork. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are considered part of the item description.
