"Meerestille" (Calm Sea) is an oil painting by the Swissist painter, Arnold Böcklin. Created during the years 1886-1887, the painting exudes a serene and chilling ambiance that is characteristic of Böcklin's works. The painting is well-known for its masterful execution of natural elements in a dream-like setting, demonstrating Böcklin's ability to fuse classical landscape painting with a personal fantastical interpretation.

The painting presents a view of a deceptively calm sea under the light of the moon bordered by tall and craggy cliffs. It is devoid of human figures, with only a solitary boat, tying in with Böcklin's preference for depicting stark and isolated environments. The skillful depiction of the calm sea, contrasting with the rugged cliffs, creates a dynamic tension in the painting, which could be seen as a reflection on the unpredictable nature of life.

"Meerestille" also stands out due to its technique, color palette, and composition. Böcklin's use of finely graduated tones and a subdued color scheme generates a mystifying and tranquil atmosphere. The painting is part of Böcklin's series of works focusing on the sea, along with other notable pieces like "Die Toteninsel" (Isle of the Dead).

Positioned in art history at the cusp of Symbolism and Surrealism, Böcklin's work, including "Meerestille", has been recognized as a source of inspiration for future generations of artists, including surrealist Salvador Dali and symbolist Gustav Klimt. It remains a compelling testament to Böcklin's ability to evoke mood and emotion through the depiction of natural landscapes in his distinctly enigmatic and personal style.
