Shishkin’s large-format works from the 1880s render epic images of the nature of his homeland with a wide panorama of forest views. "Before the Storm" is an example of a work that follows this compositional scheme. The motif of the landscape, however, and the use of light and dark is more in line with the design principles of late Romantic paintings.
