Landscape with Sunlit Clouds is a 1850 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a wide, open field under a bright sky. Big, fluffy clouds fill the top half, catching the light. Below, patches of grass and small trees stretch toward the horizon, with a few darker shapes in the distance. The clouds are painted thickly, almost like they’re puffy cotton. The artist used lots of brushstrokes to make them look soft and real. If you like this style, check out impasto.
