托马斯·科尔油画风景《美国森林中的龙卷风》高清图片

作品简介

　　在这幅横向构图的风景画中，两株粗壮扭曲、枝干断裂的树干矗立在幽暗的林间，背景是近乎漆黑的天空。画面以咖啡棕、棕褐色、深锡灰、烟灰和橄榄绿为主色调。位于画面左侧的两株树干成为景观中最明亮的物体，其光源可能来自右上角的云层裂隙。更远处，更多的树木在树干后方形成一道屏障。虽然几乎被阴影吞没，但依稀可见远处几棵较高的树木在强风中几乎弯折成水平状态。

　　画面上方的左半边天空近乎墨黑，向右逐渐变亮，直至我们右侧的云层裂隙处。只有仔细观察才会发现，右侧树干基部站立着一个人影，似乎正倚靠着树干抵御狂风。他深色的头发被风吹向脑后，藏青色外套在风中扬起。艺术家在画面底部中央的岩石上题写签名，仿佛天然镌刻："T Cole 183"(最后一个数字缺失)。

Two thick, twisting, splintered tree trunks with broken branches stripped of leaves are set against a dark, wooded landscape beneath a nearly black sky in this horizontal landscape painting. The scene is dominated by coffee brown and tan, dark pewter and smoke gray, and olive green. The two trunks, set to our left of center, are the most brightly lit objects in the landscape, presumably lit from the break in the clouds in the upper right corner. More trees create a screen across the painting beyond the tree trunks. Though nearly swallowed in shadow, a couple of taller trees in the distance show that they bend nearly horizontally in a strong wind. The left half of the sky above is almost black, and it lightens a bit toward the break in the clouds to our right. Only closer inspection reveals a person standing near the base of the trunk to our right, possibly bracing against its trunk. Their dark hair blows back from their face and their navy blue jacket is lifted in the wind. The artist signed and dated the work as if he wrote it on a rock at the lower center of the painting: “T Cole 183,” the last digit missing.
