River Landscape with a Passing Storm is a 1809 ink by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a dramatic river landscape with a passing storm. The scene is set amidst towering trees and rocky cliffs, with a waterfall cascading into the river. In the foreground, a few cows are visible near the water's edge. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the heart of the storm. The etching technique adds texture and detail to the scene, making it feel almost lifelike.
