A Storm is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, depicting Rain, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A dark sky looms over a French village. Lightning splits the clouds. A few small figures rush in the rain. Legros often painted storms to show raw power in nature. He trained in Paris before moving to London. The brushwork feels rough and urgent. This is one of his early works. Look up Alphonse Legros at The Cleveland Museum of Art to see how his style grew.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
