The painting captures a tranquil landscape at sunset, where a fiery sky glows above a calm body of water. The horizon burns with intense oranges and golds that gradually dissolve into cooler blues above, creating a dramatic color gradient. Dark mountain silhouettes frame the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye toward the glowing center where light meets water. The clouds, painted in warm reds and burnt sienna, appear almost like embers drifting in the sky — echoing the warmth of the setting sun. The water below reflects softened hints of the sky’s colors, grounding the intensity of the atmosphere with calm stillness.
