Storm
1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Storm is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a dark, stormy night scene with a bright flash of lightning splitting the sky. Below, a small village with houses and a church sits by a river, where a few people and animals are scattered. The sky is thick with clouds, and the light from the lightning makes the scene feel dramatic and tense. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark to create depth. This makes the storm look even more powerful and the village feel small in comparison. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works in other paintings.
