One of the last pieces by Tempesta, painted in the final year of his life, depicts a scene of a shipwreck on the rocky coastline. All that remains from the sinking vessel is its mast and spar on which the sailors try to climb. Some of those rescued rest among the rocks on the beach, while others are pulled out from the sea at the same time. One of them carries a bundle wrapped around some things rescued from the ship. To the left, two other ships struggle for survival among the raging waves, while to the right stands a high rocky cliff with a circular stone Tower perched on its top, and some other buildings are visible in the background.

The landscape originally belonged to the Sebisch-Hubrig collection, which in 1767 was given to the Magdalene Grammar School in Wrocław. In 1853 it was placed in the Picture Gallery at Parliament House (no 427), and from 1880 it was exhibited in Schlesisches Museum der Bildenden Künste (cat. 291), in Room III of the Museum. In May 1942 it was placed in the depository in Henrykow. At present part of a private collection outsider Poland.
