Colour drawings of a rainbow at sea and on land, from the sketchbook of Jan Brandes, Vol. 1 (1808).

Featured on PDR in the collection Rainbows in Art

Depictions spanning more than 800 years – in chronological order – of that most enigmatic of weather phenomena, the rainbow: from Noah's sign and the Book of Revelation, through to 18th-century optics, the epic landscapes of Romanticism, and modernist abstraction.
