About the piece

Painted around 1845, this work by Francis Danby exemplifies the Romantic interest in atmospheric light and the emotive power of nature. A solitary pine tree dominates the foreground, its dark silhouette contrasting against the soft, muted tones of the sky and the distant, misty valley of Hampstead Heath.
