About the piece
Painted circa 1675 by Francisque Millet, this masterpiece exemplifies the dramatic 'heroic' landscape style. A singular bolt of lightning pierces a brooding sky, illuminating distant snowy peaks and a tranquil lake, while small figures in the foreground offer a sense of grand scale and classical narrative.
