1750
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Storm is a 1750 by Philip James de Loutherbourg, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a wild, rocky landscape under a dark, swirling sky. Jagged boulders loom over a rushing stream, and twisted trees cling to the cliffs. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few patches of green where plants fight to grow. The artist used quick, rough strokes to make the scene feel chaotic and alive.
