In the mid-1860s Hippolyte Boulenger occupied a prominent position in the Belgian art world. His landscapes, whose like had never been seen before, were restless, thickly painted, sketched in broad outlines and full of realistic local colour. His predilection for special weather conditions, such as tempestuous and stormy weather, still link him with the Romantic Movement. Towards the end of his life Boulenger regularly spent the summer months in the Ardennes where After the Evening Storm was probably painted. Although the landscape is a rendering of the natural surroundings, it contains very little topographical detail. It focuses more on the spontaneous expression of an emotional experience of nature.
