About the piece
Painted in 1831 by Johan Christian Dahl, the father of Norwegian romantic landscape painting, this oil study captures the raw energy of an impending storm. The work is defined by its expressive impasto brushwork and a sophisticated palette of moody purples and luminous whites, reflecting Dahl's mastery of meteorological observation and natural light.
