Thunderstorm landscape 

Josef Kriehuber's "Thunderstorm Landscape" depicts a dramatic scene of a storm brewing over a tranquil river. The artist's skill in capturing the atmospheric conditions of a looming storm is evident in the dark, brooding clouds that dominate the upper portion of the canvas. In the foreground, two figures in a small boat navigate the choppy waters, their struggle against the elements adding a sense of urgency to the scene. The painting’s use of light and shadow effectively portrays the ominous mood of the storm, while the detailed depiction of the river and surrounding trees highlights the beauty of nature. Kriehuber, known for his landscape paintings, was a prominent artist in 19th-century Austria.
