About the piece
Created in 1850, this oil study by Norwegian artist Knud Baade captures the ephemeral beauty of clouds caught in the warm glow of evening light. The heavy, volumetric forms of the clouds are rendered with rich earthy tones, creating a striking contrast against the dark, moody blue of the upper atmosphere.
