Painting of a robed hermit seated on rocks beside a windswept tree, with a distant shoreline and stormy clouds under a glowing sky.

Landscape with Saint Bruno in a Stormy Dusk

A hermit in a pale robe sits on a rocky outcrop beneath a tall, wind-bent tree, with a second, crouching figure at his feet. Beyond a distant shoreline with small buildings and a sail, dark clouds part over a glowing horizon, rendered in loose, sketchy oil brushwork.
