This painting offers a stunning view of a coastal town under a brooding sky, executed in the distinctive style of small, deliberate brushstrokes that shimmer with light and movement. The seascape vibrates with color: blues and greens ripple across the water's surface, mirroring a shoreline dotted with white structures and lush greenery, all framed by distant, cool-toned mountains. The sky looms overhead with a textured density, hinting at the thunderstorm suggested by the title, yet the entire scene pulses with an impression of life and quiet tension.

The artist’s use of pointillism—a technique where tiny vehicles of color are placed side by side without traditional blending—creates an intricate mosaic effect that brings vibrations and depth to the composition. The palette is predominantly soft and cool, with blues and pale yellows interwoven with touches of white and green, delivering a fresh yet moody atmosphere. This interplay of light, shadow, and subtle contrasts instills a rhythmic energy that invites the viewer to sense the electric anticipation of a storm about to break. Created shortly after the turbulence of World War I, the artwork embodies a yearning for nature’s cleansing power while simultaneously delving into the complexity of human emotions mirrored in the horizon.
