Naaldwoud met ondergaande zon 1851 - 1924

"Naaldwoud met ondergaande zon" (Coniferous Forest with Setting Sun) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, created between 1851 and 1924. The artwork depicts a dense forest with tall, slender trees silhouetted against a pale, ethereal sky. The sun, setting in the distance, casts long shadows across the ground, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Storm van 's-Gravesande was known for his landscapes, often focusing on the effects of light and atmosphere. This piece exemplifies his skill in capturing the subtle beauty of nature through a combination of precise detail and expressive brushstrokes.
