Thunderstorm Passed Over 1963

"Thunderstorm Passed Over" is a 1963 painting by British artist John Bratby. The painting depicts a view from a balcony looking out over a suburban landscape. The artist's signature, "Bratby," is visible in the bottom right corner of the painting. Bratby is best known for his paintings of everyday life in England, often depicting scenes of working-class life. His work is characterized by its vivid colors and bold brushstrokes. "Thunderstorm Passed Over" is a typical example of Bratby's style, with its focus on the ordinary and its use of thick paint. The painting depicts a scene of quiet domesticity, but it also suggests a sense of unease and uncertainty. The storm clouds in the sky and the empty streets below seem to hint at something more ominous.
