- At the beginning of the First World War, Heckel trained as a paramedic and served in Flanders in the region around the port city of Ostend. - During the war years, which were marked by horror and death, mystified landscapes in which a longing for transcendence becomes tangible, appeared in Heckel's oeuvre for the first time. - Rare print from the first printing state before the additional brightening of the light part in the water. - Other prints from this printing state are in important international collections such as the Museum Folkwang, Essen, the Kunstmuseum Bern, and the St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louis / USA. - Already in December 1915, at the request of Walter Kaesbach, curator at the Berlin National Gallery, a print of this woodcut was purchased for the collection of the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett.
