Storm at Handeck is a 1838 oil by Alexandre Calame, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts a rugged, mountainous landscape with a stormy sky. The scene is dominated by dark, foreboding clouds that seem to be rolling in over the peaks. In the foreground, a few trees stand tall, their branches swaying in the wind. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the turbulent sky. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of energy and movement. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, you might want to explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
