Foehn Wind, 1895. The foreground is formed by a snow-covered pasture, in the middle of which there are windswept spruces, above which rises a mountain range and the dark blue and black sky is obscured by a layer of clouds. The work, maintained in narrow, cool colors, is an example of chromatic imitation of photography. Realistic depiction combined with the symbolization of mountain nature made The Halny Wind one of the most unusual and original landscapes in Polish painting. Aleksandra Krypczyk-De Barra
