You see a small cottage beside a road, under a dark and stormy sky. The painting shows a simple scene, but it's interesting because of the way the artist used light and color to create a mood. The dark sky and the warm light inside the cottage make it feel cozy and inviting. Check out the work of artist Jules Dupré to see more of his landscapes.
