Storm: Waiting for the Caravan
Alfred Jacob Miller1858-1860
The Walters Art Museum
Baltimore, United States
One of Miller's most beautifully painted and atmospheric pictures, "Storm" shows those who have gone ahead in a driving rainstorm and are waiting for the rest of the train to catch up. Miller said that after two or three days of rain he would become depressed, causing the captain to suggest that his "early training" had been "faulty."
