French fleet at anchor, in heavy weather, off an Italian coast
Canvas, monogrammed lower left (restorations)

Born in La Rochelle on December 8, 1784, Pierre Clément Caussé began his maritime life at the age of 14, and ended it as a captain in 1840, at the end of a 42-year maritime career. In 1820, he was appointed captain aboard the schooner l'Amarante for a campaign to Italy and the Levant. In 1830, he took part in the Battle of Algiers on the frigate l'Algésiras, and this painting is certainly inspired by a storm scene he probably experienced at that time in the Mediterranean.
