Storm (1925)
by Zdisław Jasiński (Polish, 1863–1932)
The sky is full of horses. Dark, massive, stampeding — their forms built from thundercloud and shadow, their hooves the rumble you feel before you hear it. Below them, a flat green landscape stretches to the horizon, bright and exposed, with nowhere to go.
Zdisław Jasiński was a Polish painter who worked across Academic and Impressionistic styles, known for landscapes that captured the particular quality of light and weather on the Polish plains. Storm, painted in 1925, is his most striking work — a painting that takes the oldest metaphor for thunder (horses, hooves, the sound of the sky breaking open) and makes it literal. The clouds do not merely suggest horses. They are horses, rendered with enough conviction that the distinction stops mattering.
It is the kind of painting that makes you want to close a window.
