Sommerfeldt (XX) - Brandung und Meer

Surf and Sea – Farewell Gift of the Navy Communications School to a Chief Boatswain, 1976 Oil on canvas, signed and dated “Sommerfeldt 19.V.76”, with brass plaque of the Federal Navy and dedication sheet verso WORK Rough seas: waves in black-blue, gray and white roll in from the left, the surf breaks in the center in white spray, above a dark cloudy sky with a bright break. Textured with a spatula, the layers of color stand up high – a seascape from the 1970s whose charm lies in its movement. The painting has a history: it was the farewell gift from the 4th inspection of the Navy Communications School, Training Group GA Eckernförde, to a Chief Boatswain at the end of his twenty-year service with the Federal Navy (1956–1976). On the frame sits the brass plaque: “In memory of service with the Federal Navy from 1956 to 1976 – Navy Communications School, Training Group GA Eckernförde – Regular Staff 4th Inspection.” On the back, the handwritten dedication sheet with the service seal of the Navy Communications School, Training Group GA, the signature of the Lieutenant-Commander and inspection chief, and about twenty signatures of the regular staff. A piece of Federal Navy history from Eckernförde, as complete as it is rarely found.
