"An Approaching Storm" is a notable painting by the Dutch landscape artist Willem Roelofs, who was a prominent figure in the Hague School, a movement known for its realistic portrayal of the Dutch countryside. Painted in 1887, this work exemplifies Roelofs' mastery in capturing the transient effects of light and atmosphere, a hallmark of his artistic style.

The painting depicts a rural scene just before a storm, with dark, ominous clouds gathering in the sky, casting a dramatic shadow over the landscape. The composition is marked by a strong contrast between the darkening sky and the illuminated foreground, where the last rays of sunlight touch the fields and a small body of water. Roelofs' attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the vegetation and the reflections in the water, which add depth and realism to the scene.

"An Approaching Storm" reflects Roelofs' deep appreciation for nature and his ability to convey its moods and changes. The painting is also indicative of the influence of the Barbizon School on Roelofs, particularly in its emphasis on capturing the natural environment with a sense of immediacy and emotional resonance. The use of a subdued color palette and the focus on atmospheric effects are characteristic of Roelofs' work and the Hague School in general.

This painting is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be admired for its technical excellence and evocative portrayal of the Dutch landscape. "An Approaching Storm" remains an important work in the study of 19th-century Dutch art, illustrating the transition from Romanticism to a more naturalistic and observational approach in landscape painting.
