Sunset Cloud, Green River, Wyoming (1917) by Thomas Moran

Sunset Cloud, Green River, Wyoming (1917) by Thomas Moran places a glowing cloud above an isolated, red-topped rock formation. The sky is deep blue around it, with orange and yellow light gathering into a bright, irregular mass. Below, the river and its banks are quieter, darker and much more closely held to the ground.

The tall butte stands left of centre, its pale lower slopes catching some of the sky's warmth. Trees gather along the water, forming a dark green band between rock and reflection. A sandy foreground bank curves towards the river and gives the eye a route into the illuminated distance.

Moran lets the cloud echo the upright shape of the butte without repeating it exactly. One is solid and sharply bounded; the other expands into softer, shifting edges. The river reflects only fragments of this colour, keeping the lower scene from competing with the sky. The painting's intensity comes from that careful concentration: a few blazing passages are set within much larger areas of blue air, dark foliage and shaded earth.
