Rivierlandschap met kerktoren, bij storm 1872 - 1944

"Rivierlandschap met kerktoren, bij storm," (River Landscape with Church Tower, in a Storm) is a watercolor painting by Frans Smissaert, a Belgian artist known for his atmospheric landscapes. Created between 1872 and 1944, the painting captures a dramatic scene of a river landscape with a church tower silhouette against a stormy sky. The use of delicate watercolor washes creates a sense of depth and movement, emphasizing the turbulent weather and the vast expanse of the landscape. This small work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Smissaert's masterful ability to convey the subtle nuances of nature through his art.
