Dorf Im Gewitter 1895

"Dorf Im Gewitter" (1895) by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen captures a moment of foreboding serenity. The painting depicts a rural landscape dominated by a vast, looming cloud formation, casting a dramatic shadow over the small village nestled below. The artist utilizes a bold palette of deep blues, greens, and muted browns to enhance the sense of impending storm, leaving the viewer questioning whether a storm is imminent or has just passed. This work is representative of Steinlen's artistic style, which often focused on capturing the raw beauty of nature and the everyday lives of ordinary people.
