Herder met kudde in een storm 1838 - 1842

"Herder met kudde in een storm" (Shepherd with flock in a storm) is a lithograph created by Dutch artist Paulus Lauters in the 19th century. The print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a flock of sheep being herded through a hilly landscape. The dramatic sky and fleeing sheep create a sense of urgency and immediacy, capturing a fleeting moment of nature. Lauters' skillful use of light and shadow, reminiscent of Romanticism, emphasizes the contrast between the dark, threatening storm and the light, fleeting forms of the sheep.
