"Road and Stormy Sky, Eltham" is a notable work by the Australian landscape painter Walter Withers, an artist associated with the Heidelberg School, a key movement in Australian art that is often considered the beginning of the country's impressionism. Created in 1902, this painting is a vivid depiction of the Australian landscape, showcasing Withers' adeptness at capturing the atmospheric conditions and the rugged beauty of the natural world. The artwork features a dynamic composition that draws the viewer's eye along a road winding through the Eltham countryside, under a dramatically overcast sky that suggests an impending storm. Withers' use of color, light, and shadow, along with his expressive brushwork, conveys the transient beauty of the scene and evokes a sense of the sublime in nature.

Walter Withers (1854-1914) was an English-born artist who emigrated to Australia in 1883, where he became an integral part of the Heidelberg School, alongside other prominent artists such as Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts, and Charles Conder. This group of artists is celebrated for their plein air painting, a practice of painting outdoors to capture the essence of the landscape and the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. "Road and Stormy Sky, Eltham" exemplifies Withers' contribution to this movement and his particular interest in the effects of weather and light on the landscape.

The painting not only reflects Withers' technical skill and artistic vision but also provides insight into the Australian landscape as a source of inspiration for artists at the turn of the 20th century. It captures a moment of dramatic tension in nature, a theme that resonated with the Heidelberg School's aim to depict the Australian environment in a way that was both true to life and imbued with emotional depth. "Road and Stormy Sky, Eltham" remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Walter Withers and in the history of Australian art, celebrated for its contribution to the development of an Australian impressionist style and for its portrayal of the unique qualities of the Australian landscape.
