Description

A Mountain Landscape with an Approaching Storm c1775 by French Painter Claude Joseph Vernet (1714 - 1789); known for painting, drawing and engraving in the Neoclassic and Romanticism style of Mediterranean port scenes.

A Mountain Landscape with an Approaching Storm is a rare mountain landscape that Vernet created as a companion piece to a large port scene he painted that was commissioned by the art collector Lord Shelburne, later the Marquess of Lansdowne.

The painting depicts fishermen pulling in their nets from a river as massive storm approaches while other people are standing atop boulders are gathering their fishing gear.

To the left four people comprising two women and two men are trying to get a stubborn mule to move while a dog watches on; while still others in the distance bring their boat to shore and head inland through the forest.

In the background is a small waterfall and one see a fortress on the hilltop and a city above a bridge a farther distance off; and very close to the mountain range you can just make out another city or fortress like structure.
