Storm (1925)
by Zdzisław Jasiński (Polish, 1863–1932)
Zdzisław Jasiński was a Polish painter known for his works in the Academic and later Impressionistic styles. His art often captures the dynamic and dramatic elements of nature, and Storm is no exception.
Storm features a vivid and evocative depiction of a summer thunderstorm. Dark thunderclouds, metaphorically shaped like stampeding black horses, dominate the sky above a flat green landscape. This imagery is powerful — it captures the energy, force, and unpredictability of a thunderstorm, paralleling the thundering sound of hooves with the rumbling of thunder.
The use of dynamic symbolism is characteristic of Jasiński’s ability to convey the intensity and movement of natural phenomena through his art. A palette of dark, ominous colors represents the storm clouds, contrasted with the serene green of the landscape below — highlighting the stark impact of the storm on the environment.
