About the piece
Painted in 1857 by Bedřich Havránek, this evocative oil on canvas depicts the environs of Svitava in Moravia. The composition is dominated by a powerful, swirling sky, where dark rain clouds contrast sharply with golden light breaking through to the valley floor, highlighting a winding path and a quiet hilltop settlement.
