"Le Naufrage" (The Shipwreck) is a renowned painting by the French artist Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714–1789), who was celebrated for his marine landscapes and seascapes that combine dramatic naturalism with emotive Romanticism. Created in 1759, this work is part of a series that Vernet was commissioned to paint for King Louis XV of France, intended to depict the various times of the day and the different conditions of the sea.

The painting, measuring 113 x 162 cm, is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and is a quintessential example of Vernet's mastery in capturing the sublime power of nature and the human response to it. "Le Naufrage" illustrates a tumultuous sea with a ship being torn apart by the violent waves, while desperate figures on the shore and in the water struggle against the overwhelming force of the elements.

Vernet's composition is carefully constructed to evoke a sense of drama and pathos, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action of the shipwreck while also allowing them to witness the broader context of the stormy seascape. The artist's use of light and shadow, combined with his attention to detail in the rendering of the figures and the sea, creates a palpable tension and a poignant commentary on the fragility of human life in the face of nature's might.

"Le Naufrage" is not only a significant work in Vernet's oeuvre but also an important piece in the history of 18th-century French painting. It reflects the era's growing interest in the depiction of natural disasters and the sublime, as well as the philosophical and aesthetic preoccupations of the Enlightenment. The painting has been widely studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of the human condition.
