Sky – Northern Cuba is a 1859 unspecified by Charles de Wolf Brownell, a Hudson River School Movement work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a vast sky, dominated by a large cloud on the right side. The sky transitions from a light blue at the top to a soft yellow towards the bottom, with the cloud gradually darkening from white to gray. In the foreground, a few trees and bushes are visible, including a palm tree with a slender trunk and a few leaves. A subtle detail is the presence of cracks in the paint, particularly noticeable in the sky area. This could be due to the aging process or the materials used in the painting. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is where you can find more works like this one.
