Torre, Néstor de la (1887-1938) - High Tide, Poem of the Atlantic 1921-22

This mesmerizing work is a key canvas from Néstor de la Torre’s Poema del Atlántico series, a cycle of paintings exploring the spiritual and natural forces of the ocean. Embodying the artist's Symbolist vision, the painting moves beyond a simple seascape to capture the ocean’s raw, elemental power. In this scene of "High Tide," human figures are dwarfed by the dramatic scale of marine life, suggesting a mystical, mythic relationship between humanity and nature. The dynamic, swirling composition and vivid colors evoke the palpable movement and untamed energy of the sea.
