flood

The artwork Flood is a painting, created by in 1881. It is part of the Collection Rau for UNICEF. The painting, sized 1.0m x 0.6m, depicts a desolate landscape ravaged by floodwaters. The sky is a stormy grey, with streaks of rain slanting down towards the horizon. The water below is choppy and turbulent, reflecting the sky's agitated mood. A cluster of bare trees in the foreground, their branches stark against the sky, seem to stand as sentinels in the face of the flood's destructive power. The overall impression is one of bleakness and despair, capturing the raw power of nature.
