About the piece

Painted in 1896 by Halfdan Egedius, 'Approaching Storm' is a quintessential example of Norwegian neo-romanticism. The work juxtaposes the calm movement of horses in the foreground with the mounting drama of a dark sky and distant peaks, reflecting a deep connection to the atmospheric power of the northern landscape.
