Hamburg, Germany’s most significant harbor on the North Sea, is the subject
of Emil Nolde’s etching. Through muted tones and delicate lines, he
conveyed a sense of contemplative moodiness. Nolde, who spent his early
years on a farm in the North Sea-Baltic peninsula, had an ever-enduring
fascination with the sea.
