About the piece
Willem Roelofs, a prominent figure of the Hague School, masterfully captures the atmospheric tension of the Dutch countryside. In this 1875 oil painting, a vibrant rainbow arches over a sun-drenched meadow, contrasting sharply with the deep, brooding tones of a passing storm. The scene features cattle grazing near a muddy track, grounded by the earthy textures and luminous light typical of the artist’s work.
