"Urolig Sjø" (English: "Rough Seas") is a notable painting by Peder Balke, a pioneering Norwegian artist known for his dramatic and romantic depictions of the country's landscapes. Created in the 19th century, this work exemplifies Balke's fascination with the power and beauty of nature, particularly the tempestuous waters surrounding Norway's rugged coastline.

The painting captures the tumultuous energy of the sea during a storm. Balke's use of stark contrasts, with frothy white waves set against a dark and brooding sky, conveys the relentless force of the natural world. His brushwork is vigorous and expressive, a technique that imbues the scene with a sense of movement and immediacy. The composition often features a horizon line that is high or obscured, emphasizing the overwhelming presence of the waves and the insignificance of human presence against the vastness of nature.

As a prominent figure in Norwegian art, Peder Balke's work, including "Urolig Sjø," is significant for its early expressionistic qualities and its contribution to the national romantic movement, which sought to capture the unique spirit of Norway's landscape and cultural heritage. Balke's paintings are also noted for their proto-modernist elements, anticipating some of the stylistic developments of the 20th century.

"Urolig Sjø" is not only a testament to Balke's artistic skill but also a reflection of the 19th-century romantic sensibility that revered the sublime and untamable aspects of nature. The painting remains an important piece in the study of Scandinavian art and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and historical relevance.
