What does the curator team of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art state about the 18th century work of art painted by Simon Denis? (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
This study shows a range of climatic conditions stacked one above the other. It lightens progressively over a space that extends thousands of feet, from the rainstorm at lower left to the clear sky at top. Denis’s plein-air sketches epitomize the Enlightenment’s embrace of empirical research in the pursuit of knowledge. The artist employed the particular effect seen here in finished paintings of the 1790s, and perhaps earlier.
