About this work

This print shows a quiet countryside scene. A man plows a muddy field with two horses, while a windmill stands in the distance. The sky is thick with clouds, and a lone tree leans over the left side of the image. The title at the bottom calls it *Spring*, but the mood feels more like a storm rolling in. The artist used loose brushstrokes to show movement in the clouds and water. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature to express big emotions.
