Description: | Signed: yes Description: Michallon was an artist of prodigious talent who tragically died at the young age of 25. This painting demonstrates the versatility of his skills. A tree recently hit by lightening creates a focus to the right of the foreground. At its base lies a woman who has also been struck down. To the left a road leads the eye into the distance of a mountainous classical landscape. Despite the formal composition, the sense of movement and drama is highly dynamic as the wind and rain sweep the hillside and men rush to the woman's aid. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Michallon, Achille Etna (French painter and printmaker, 1796-1822) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9018... | Go to resource |
