Storm with friars and stevedores

At the
  end of the seventeenth century an artistic trend developed for representing
  extreme situations, connected with upheavals of the natural elements. Lissandrino and his collaborators produced many works
  in this genre, linked in particular to sea scenes and choosing for
  protagonists humble figures, of the people. In
  these works, the human subjects have the same importance as the natural
  backgrounds. Their forms are robust and their poor belongings are represented
  in detail, while great accuracy is also used in depicting the movements of
  the water. Studies have allowed Magnasco's collaborator in this painting to
  be recognised as Antonio Francesco Peruzzini.
