View near Polling
William Merritt Chase visited Polling, a small village in the Bavarian Alps, while studying at the Royal Academy in Munich. The roliling clouds create a sense of foreboding, painted in broad brushstrokes that emphasize their churning motion. The limited range of earthy colors further intensifies the mood of the landscape.
William Merritt Chase visitó Polling, un pequeño pueblo de los Alpes bávaros, mientras estudiaba en la Real Academia de Múnich. Las nubes ondulantes, pintadas con amplias pinceladas que acentúan su movimiento agitado, crean una sensación de presentimiento. La limitada gama de colores terrosos intensifica aún más el dramatismo del paisaje.
