The artwork, titled “Break in the Thunderstorm,” was created by artist Martin Lewis in the year 1930.
The artwork captures a bustling urban scene amidst a thunderstorm. The composition features a street filled with pedestrians trying to shield themselves from the downpour using umbrellas. The background is dominated by multi-story buildings, aligning the street and enhancing the sense of depth. Above, the stormy sky is illuminated by a bolt of lightning, adding a dramatic touch to the atmosphere. The wet pavement reflects the figures and the surrounding environment, subtly emphasizing the intensity of the rain. The overall mood of the artwork resonates with a sense of urgency and movement, embodied in the hurried strides of the figures.
