Qualities such as panoramic, theatrical landscapes of exotic locations with sublime grandeur give many compositions their character. This impression is strengthened by meticulous detail combined with dramatic atmospheric effects. Well-known examples include *A Country Home* and *Above the Clouds at Sunrise*, which are often cited when introducing the artist’s work.
