About Artwork: (About 1675) "Two people, one draped in bright yellow and blue, take us from their high viewpoint into this dramatic landscape. A river leads from the bottom left corner, through a rocky gorge, to the lake in the middle distance, set in a valley below snow-covered mountains. A storm has broken over the peaceful meadows at the lake shore: from a swiftly moving rain cloud, a jagged shaft of lightning cuts across the sky. We don't know whether the picture illustrates an episode from a particular narrative. The landscape combines natural observation with imaginary details. In the valley, there is a small settlement with the type of Romanesque church tower found in some French villages, as well as a classical arch of the kind seen in Rome. Bathed in sunlight, the foreground scene leads our eye in a zigzag across the composition and towards the valley and the distant blue mountains." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
