Ennen myrskyä is an unspecified by Thorsten Waenerberg, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a quiet harbor at dusk. Small boats sit half-beached on a rocky shore, while a few larger sailboats drift near a wooden dock. The sky is heavy with dark clouds, but a few birds fly low over the water. The colors are muted—deep blues, grays, and earthy browns—with a hint of light on the waves. The painting focuses on stillness before a storm, with the boats looking ready but calm. The artist used soft brushstrokes to show the texture of the water and sky. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create mood in paintings.
