This painting shows a smoky, fiery scene with a dark purple sky. The fire glows orange and yellow near the bottom, while the rest is mostly muted blues and browns. The brushstrokes are loose, blending colors together without sharp lines. The fire looks wild and untamed, almost like it’s spreading through a forest. The artist used watercolor, which makes the colors soft and slightly transparent. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
