The Windmill 1859

Jules Dupré's "The Windmill" (1859) is a Romantic landscape painting that captures the beauty of a sunset over a windmill. The painting's dramatic, moody sky, with its rich hues of orange and red, is the focal point. The windmill, silhouetted against the sunset, stands in stark contrast to the vastness of the sky, creating a sense of awe and grandeur. Dupré was known for his atmospheric landscapes, and "The Windmill" showcases his mastery of light and shadow.
