About the piece
Painted in 1856 by Lars Hertervig, this masterful landscape depicts the tense beauty of the Norwegian countryside before a storm. The work features a striking contrast between the sun-dappled foreground, where cattle graze near rustic stone cottages, and the towering, dark cumulus clouds that dominate the upper frame, showcasing Hertervig's unique sensitivity to light and atmospheric drama.
