"Moonlight, Study," Fanny Churberg, 1878.
Churberg (1845-92) was a Finnish landscape painter.
The daughter of a doctor and fiercely proud of her Finnish heritage, she began artistic training in 1865 after the deaths of both her parents, and moving in with an aunt, along with her brothers. She was an industrious painter, doing 300 canvases in a 15-year career.
While her style was strictly in the Dusseldorf School (an extension of the Romantic movement, with a focus on meticulously detailed landscapes, often with religious or moral allegory), she did differ from them a slight bit with her short brushstrokes and energetic style. She was passionate about the Finnish landscape and sought to translate such events as an approaching thunderstorm, or moonlight on a cloudy night, as accurately as possible.
She stopped painting in 1880; some say it was her own declining health and the death of her brother Torsten from TB. Others say it was harsh reviews of her work. But she remained involved in the artistic world, encouraging other painters, until her death at 46,
She has been rediscovered in the last 20 years and now is valued for her passionate depictions of turbulent nature.
From the Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki.

"The Enchanted Castle," Francis Danby, c. 1841.
The great Irish Romanticist Danby (1793-1861) is considered one of the significant British painters of the period.
The son of a farmer and educated in Dublin, he wound up in Bristol where he sold trifling watercolors and sent his most significant works to London for exhibition. He was part of a group called the Bristol School, artists who met regularly to wander the surrounding countryside to sketch and paint. Danby was the central figure for a while and his involvement helped him develop his style.
He had his first success in 1820, and he moved to London to be inducted into the Royal Academy, only to leave a decade later after his wife left him for another artist. He moved to Geneva, rarely painted for about a decade, then came back to greater success than ever. It was in his later period that he did this painting, inspired by the Roman myth of Cupid and Psyche, with Psyche approaching Cupid's castle in the setting sun.
His work is now featured in many galleries and museums; unlike some other Romantics, he never seemed to fall from favor.
From the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

It's true. When i heard the phrase 'Old Masters,' I always thought of men artists. How narrow-minded of me. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/02/arts/design/michaelina-wautier-artist-boston.html

Now look back. Again. Here’s Martin’s ‘The Great Day of His Wrath’ (1851-3). And then here’s Harry Durgin’s incredible shot of Mauna Loa from this week, 2023. On the scene. With a high-spec digital camera. A full 171 years later.

These astonishing photos of this week’s Hawaiian volcano Mauna Loa by Harry Durgin are strikingly like one of 19thC British Romantic painter John Martin’s apocalyptic visions brought to life.
Just look at The Great Day of His Wrath (1851) & The Fallen Angels Entering Pandemonium (attrib? 1841).
