Springtime Storm

Wilhelm Laage

National Gallery of Art

The image is a woodcut print of a Gothic-style church. The horizon is low, emphasizing the structure against the sky. The point of view is near the ground, showing the church's facade, windows, and trees. The bold lines typical of woodcuts add texture. The color scheme is black and white. A figure in period dress is near us, with trees in the background. The sky has dynamic lines hinting at movement.
