Légende

Shepherd Struck by Lightning, 1844. A shepherd who was apparently struck by lightning is at the centre of the dramatic scene, surrounded by his flock and by horrified field workers. In the background, the tree is bright ablaze with fire. A farmer points to the sky to indicate the cause of death and to also warn of the divine powers.
