About the piece
Painted in 1914, George Bellows’ 'Coming Storm' is a masterclass in American Realism, utilizing energetic impasto brushstrokes to convey the tumultuous energy of the sea. The deep indigo and emerald tones of the crashing waves contrast sharply with the luminous, agitated clouds, creating a sense of impending drama and natural force that commands attention.
