1897
John Singer Sargent is famous for his glamorous society portraits, but he often escaped the stuffy studios to paint nature's raw drama. This moody watercolor captures a turbulent sky where heavy, slate-grey storm clouds clash with patches of bright blue and soft white. Notice how he leaves the paper bare in spots to let the light shine through the clouds—a brilliant, effortless trick that makes the atmosphere feel alive and shifting. It's a perfect example of how he used quick, fluid brushstrokes to freeze a fleeting moment of weather in time.
