Landscape in a Storm 1855 - 1865

"Landscape in a Storm," a charcoal drawing created by Charles François Daubigny between 1855 and 1865, depicts a dramatic scene of a storm passing over a rural landscape. The artist, known for his realist depictions of nature, captures the fleeting moment of the storm's intensity with his signature loose and expressive strokes. The dark clouds above, rendered in bold, diagonal lines, contrast sharply with the light reflecting on the water and the distant trees. This small yet powerful drawing is a testament to Daubigny's mastery of capturing the raw beauty and transient nature of the natural world.
