Portrayed Skies

A journey through time and weather in painting

Why are the most abundant clouds in paintings the typical cotton-like ones? Have volcanic eruptions influenced the paintings of Turner, Van Gogh, or Munch? What secrets do Velázquez’s striking skies hold? How have the great masters painted the wind throughout history? Are paintings a source of climatic information?
Portrayed Skies answers these and many other questions in an original and suggestive journey through universal painting, with meteorology as the guiding thread.
