About the piece
Painted in 1837 by the Norwegian master Johan Christian Dahl, this atmospheric oil study captures the raw, fleeting beauty of a storm. The composition is dominated by a heavy, brooding cloud formation, set against a sliver of landscape and a hint of warmth from a fading sunset. Dahl's expressive brushwork elevates this naturalist study into a powerful piece of romantic landscape art.
