On View
Not on viewThe Deluge depicts nature in flux, at its most elemental and transitory. The print's incredibly rich surface, achieved through Forsyth's technical brilliance in aquatint, translates into much more than a description of a sudden storm--the artist conveys both the momentary effect and the potential for change held within land and sky.
