About Artwork: (1874) "Turbulent grey clouds roll across the sky. The lake beneath it is calm, but a storm threatens. It’s evening, and a tiny sailing boat in the distance is little more than a smudge on the horizon against the vivid orange and gold of the dying sun. Soft red reflections streak the surface of the water. In July 1873 Courbet fled France for Switzerland for political reasons. He settled on the shores of Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) and painted several views of it, many at sunset. During his exile, his property was seized and his friends and family put under surveillance. The contents of his Paris studio were sold at a public auction in his absence. The man who had taken Paris by storm – of whom it was written, ‘It was as if a whirlwind had roared through the gallery rattling the windows and shattering the glass’ – died almost penniless and in exile." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
