About the piece
Painted in 1843 by Johannes Tavenraat, this oil on panel work exemplifies the Romantic interest in the sublime power of nature. A bright flash of lightning illuminates a turbulent sky, casting a warm glow on the wind-swept trees and the sandy path below, where a solitary deer seeks refuge.
