The Coming Storm; Early Spring, 1874. Creator: Charles Francois Daubigny
The Coming Storm; Early Spring, 1874. Daubigny's loose, spontaneous brushwork and rich use of colour provide a direct link with the work of the impressionists. Like his younger colleagues, he was also regularly criticized for producing mere "impressions" rather than more detailed, polished views of nature. This vibrantly coloured scene dates from 1874, the year of the first impressionist exhibition

The Coming Storm; Early Spring, 1874
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on panel painting by the renowned French artist, Charles Francois Daubigny. This masterpiece, created in 1874, showcases Daubigny's loose, spontaneous brushwork and rich use of color, which would later influence the Impressionist movement. The scene transports us to a rural European countryside, likely in France, during the early spring season. In the foreground, we see a few figures, dressed in traditional rural attire, tending to their agricultural duties amidst the lush, green landscape. The atmosphere is tranquil, yet the ominous clouds gathering in the sky hint at an impending storm. The overcast sky is a vibrant tapestry of color, with hues of gray, blue, and orange blending seamlessly. Daubigny's loose brushwork and bold color choices were often criticized by his contemporaries, who preferred more detailed, polished views of nature. However, this painting, with its atmospheric quality and evocative use of color, demonstrates the artist's unique ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The painting invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of the natural world, as well as the simple pleasures of rural life. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the landscape genre and the power of art to transport us to another time and place. This painting is a cherished piece of European heritage art, now housed in the Walters Art Museum, and a must-see for any art lover or history enthusiast.
