About the piece
Painted in 1879 by Hans Friis, this evocative work depicts the marshes of South Zealand under an approaching storm. The masterful contrast between the heavy, charcoal-colored clouds and the sunlit marsh grass creates a powerful sense of atmospheric depth and fleeting light, typical of the refined Danish naturalism of the late 19th century.
