About the piece
Created in 1878 by August Friedrich Schenk, 'Anguish' is a celebrated example of animalier painting that imbues natural subjects with profound human emotion. The striking visual contrast between the pure white snow and the dense, encircling black crows heightens the dramatic tension of this somber and masterful composition.
