A dark storm rolls over rolling green hills in central Italy. The sky is split—black clouds on one side, pale light on the other. Trees bend under the wind. A lone figure walks a winding path below. Vedder painted this after traveling Italy for years. The scene feels real but dreamy, like a memory. The colors stay soft even in the storm. Look for more Vedder at the Art Institute of Chicago.
