Storgatan after the Rain 1896

Herman Norrman's 1896 painting, "Storgatan after the Rain," depicts a tranquil scene of a street in Sweden after a rainfall. The artwork, housed in SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Norrman's skilled portrayal of light and shadow as they dance across the wet cobblestones and lush greenery. The composition, a snapshot of everyday life, resonates with viewers who appreciate the beauty of quiet moments captured in art. The painting's muted tones and realistic depiction of the cityscape make it a fine example of 19th-century realism, particularly popular in Scandinavian art.
