About the piece

Painted in 1901 by the Swedish polymath August Strindberg, 'Inferno' is a masterwork of atmospheric tension. The composition uses thick, expressive impasto to create a sense of raw emotional power, looking out from a dark foreground into a swirling, luminous grey sky that suggests a breaking storm or a celestial event.
