About the piece

Painted by Jules Dupré circa 1868, this work is a quintessential example of the Barbizon school's focus on atmospheric realism. The composition is dominated by a churning, luminous sky over the shoreline at Le Crotoy, where the distant silhouettes of a windmill and sailboats are dwarfed by the immense natural drama unfolding above.
