About the piece

Painted in 1915 by Finnish modernist Ilmari Aalto, 'Storm' captures the dynamic atmosphere of a landscape on the brink of a tempest. The work features thick, energetic brushwork and a sophisticated palette of ochre, deep greens, and stormy greys, characteristic of early 20th-century European expressionism.
