The Tempest 1952

"The Tempest" is a 1952 etching by American artist Trude Hanscom, known for her expressive landscapes. This print captures the dramatic force of nature, with the wind whipping through a lone tree in the foreground, its branches twisted and contorted against a stormy sky. The artist's use of dark, textured lines creates a sense of movement and power, emphasizing the intensity of the storm. Hanscom's works often explore themes of nature's raw beauty and the human response to its power.
