Storm is a 1891 by Anders Zorn, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a man riding a horse in a stormy landscape. The horse is running towards the right side of the image, with the man holding onto its reins. The background is dark and cloudy, with rain falling from the sky. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes the movement and energy of the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with a focus on capturing the feeling of the storm rather than precise details. The painting's use of light and shadow adds to its sense of drama and tension. To learn more about this style, explore the Impressionism movement.
Anders Leonard Zorn was born in February 1860 in Mora, Dalarna, the illegitimate son of a Bavarian brewer and a Swedish farmer's daughter; his mother died shortly after his birth, and his grandparents raised him.
