A white lighthouse stands on a rocky headland, its tower braced against a sea that has turned dark and heavy under a stormy sky. Lighthouses like this one were built to warn ships away from dangerous shorelines, and their keepers often worked through weather much like this, tending lamps and logs while waves broke against the rocks below. The contrast between the bright tower and the churning water is the heart of the scene, showing how exposed these coastal stations were. Look closely at the rocks in the foreground, which give a sense of the hazards that made such a light necessary.
