Arms Against A Sea Of Troubles

The image is a landscape painting from the symbolist period of the 18th Century, the painting depicts a non-specific beach vista with large mountainous rock formations in the background plane, the foreground depicts a sandy beach shore with small rocky outcrops and little white skulls nestled between rock and sand (they are barely detailed intentionally so the viewer might overlook them as rocks)
