About the piece
Painted around 1860 by Wincenty Dmochowski, this work is a masterclass in atmospheric perspective and dramatic light. The composition captures a forest fire in progress, contrasting the brilliant orange of the flames with the heavy clouds of smoke that dominate the sky, while small figures in the foreground offer a sense of scale to the unfolding natural scene.
