Gathering Thunderstorm, Gilleleje 1951

"Gathering Thunderstorm, Gilleleje" (1951) by Danish artist Peter Rostrup Bøyesen (1882-1952) is a striking depiction of a storm approaching a seaside town. The artist, known for his evocative landscapes, captures the energy of the impending storm with bold, expressive brushstrokes. The painting's dynamic composition and use of light and shadow create a sense of anticipation and unease, highlighting the dramatic natural phenomenon of the storm. This powerful artwork is a testament to Bøyesen's ability to convey the raw power of nature and the human experience of it. It is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
