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

Landschap met de heilige Bruno?

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.

Español: Paisaje con san Bruno al atardecer tormentoso

Un ermitaño con hábito claro está sentado sobre un peñasco bajo un árbol alto y doblado por el viento, y a sus pies hay otra figura agachada. Al fondo, una costa lejana con pequeñas construcciones y una vela, mientras nubes oscuras se abren sobre un horizonte luminoso.

Português: Paisagem com são Bruno em crepúsculo tempestuoso

Um eremita de manto claro está sentado sobre um penhasco rochoso, sob uma árvore alta curvada pelo vento, e aos seus pés há outra figura agachada. Ao fundo, uma margem distante com pequenas construções e uma vela, enquanto nuvens escuras se abrem sobre um horizonte luminoso.
