Onweer 1857 - 1898

"Onweer" (Thunderstorm) is an etching by Félix Hilaire Buhot, dating back to 1857-1898, a period when he was at the height of his artistic powers. This piece, now held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Buhot's mastery of the medium. The artwork depicts a dramatic landscape with a dark, looming storm cloud filling the sky, casting a dramatic shadow over the distant hills. The light catching the edge of the clouds creates an ethereal glow. Buhot's meticulous linework captures the detail of the landscape, contrasting the roughness of the terrain with the soft textures of the sky.
