About the piece
Painted in 1795 by Philip James de Loutherbourg, this work masterfully captures the sublime power of nature, a core theme of the Romantic era. The composition is centered on a coach and its occupants in a moment of high tension, brilliantly illuminated by a sudden flash of lightning that cuts through the roiling, atmospheric sky and wind-whipped trees.
