More about this artwork

Gustav Klimt’s "Approaching Thunderstorm (The Large Poplar II)" painted in 1903, is an evocative, atmospheric piece that captivates the viewer with its brooding sense of an impending storm. This painting is a celebration of nature's power and the subtle interplay of light and shadows, often overlooked by many, yet profoundly captured by Klimt's brush.The painting presents a towering poplar tree that dominates the composition, detailed with a kaleidoscope of colored leaves, meticulously rendered to create a vibrant texture against the stormy backdrop. The swirling sky, rendered in moody hues of grey and blue, sets a dramatic stage that contrasts sharply with the earthy tones of the plowed field underneath.To the right of the poplar, Klimt includes a smaller tree and a rustic shrine, adding elements of human presence and spirituality. These components, while minor in scale compared to the grandeur of the poplar, provide a sense of scale and the fragility of human constructs in the face of nature's overwhelming force."Approaching Thunderstorm" is not just a visual experience; it's a reminder of the dynamic and transient beauty of the natural world, urging observers to reflect on the forces beyond human control.

Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was one of the greatest Austrian symbolist painters of the Art Nouveau era. Renowned as one of the most prominent founding members, and as a president of the Vienna Art Nouveau movement (Vienna Secession). His works were mainly paintings, murals, and sketches. Marked by his numerous erotic drawings, Klimt's primary subject were female figures, and at one point his work was even criticized as pornographic. Klimt found financial success in his "Golden Phase" with decorative techniques and the prominent use of gold leaf in his paintings.
