About the piece

Painted in 1835 by Frederik Theodor Kloss, this evocative work documents the awe-inspiring eruption of the Great Geyser in Iceland. The composition masterfully contrasts the towering white plume of water against a moody, mountainous landscape, using small figures in the foreground to emphasize the monumental scale of this natural phenomenon.
