The author of this painting is the famous French painter Merry, and this painting was inspired by a sunken ship.
It turned out that in a shipwreck, more than a dozen crew members were trapped on a narrow raft and floated on the vast sea.
Looking up, I can't see any hope, except the sea. They not only have to endure the test of hunger and heat, but also suffer from the lack of fresh water.
Some people even have a nervous breakdown because of despair, and these people are naturally arranged in the darkest corner by the painter.
The most striking thing in the picture is that several exhausted crew members tried their best to hold up a partner waving a red cloth strip.
The painter put this part in the brightest position in the picture, which produced a very strong contrast effect.
It is these people's deep desire for survival that inspires them to face this challenge bravely.
Cherishing life and longing for survival are the self-motivation of those who survive in times of crisis. They motivate themselves again and again in their hearts, so they can survive.
Spiritual support.
A leaf in a boat, the vast sea, no fresh water, who falls on this matter, is desperate and has no solution.
However, there are always a few strong-willed people who are still sticking to their beliefs and wishes to live.
Being trapped in the boundless sea is more desperate than being trapped in the deserted Gobi. The former's activity space is like a narrow cell.
There's no need to blame those who are devastated by utter despair. Not everyone can be so tenacious, and that kind of helplessness cannot be empathetic.
A shipwreck, a disaster, through which nature declares its strength, but also tests people's wisdom and will to survive.
