Tall conifers rise on the left and right edges of this scene, their dark, narrow crowns standing out against a sky heaped with heavy storm clouds. The contrast between the sharp evergreen silhouettes and the massing clouds gives the scene its drama, and it is a favorite subject for landscape painters and photographers who wanted to show how small human concerns look beside the weather. Pay attention to the light: the brighter gaps in the sky often mark where the storm is breaking up, a effect that artists of the 19th century prized for its sense of movement.
