About the piece

Painted in 1892 by Jacob Maris, this work captures the heavy, light-pierced atmosphere of the Dutch countryside following a thunderstorm. The artist uses thick, expressive oil paint to render the reflection of the clearing sky in the water, creating a powerful sense of movement and natural drama characteristic of the Hague School.
