I would like to say a few words about the picture “ The approaching storm” by G. Morland. This picture is truly remarkable. It is a masterpiece of world painting. Looking at the picture , you can easily understand how keenly the artist felt nature in every detail. He was able to impart a sinister atmosphere of the coming storm. The sky is overcast. The first guest of wind shakes the trees, the next moment it will start raining. The artist enlivens the landscape by two horses and a dog huddling together in a little group, seeking protection from man in danger. This landscape is a typical example of sentimental and poetic painting.
