Stormen 1843

"Stormen" (The Storm) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, created in 1843. The artwork depicts a young boy running away from a storm, clutching his hat as it blows off his head in the wind. Lundbye was known for his realistic depictions of Danish rural life, and this drawing is a powerful example of his ability to capture the drama and intensity of nature. The simplicity of the drawing, with its focus on the boy's movement and the force of the wind, further enhances the sense of urgency and vulnerability. "Stormen" is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
