About the piece
Painted circa 1835 by Théodore Rousseau, a central figure of the French Barbizon school, this work captures the fleeting beauty of nature's transition. The composition balances heavy storm clouds with the optimistic glow of a rainbow, highlighting a lush valley where a solitary figure in red provides a focal point among the earthy greens and sun-drenched crags.
