Landscape in Cloudy Weather. Late Afternoon 1840

Johan Thomas Lundbye’s “Landscape in Cloudy Weather. Late Afternoon” (1840) depicts a serene Danish landscape. The painting, now in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a winding stream that leads the viewer’s eye through the scene. The dramatic clouds above create a sense of foreboding, emphasizing the stillness of the forest floor. Lundbye, known for his Romantic landscape paintings, captures the tranquility of nature in a scene that is both realistic and evocative.
