Chailli: effet d'orage is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a stormy countryside with a small house under dark, swirling skies. Trees bend under heavy rain, their branches tangled in thick, messy lines. The ground looks wet, almost blurred, and the whole scene feels wild and fast-moving. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to show movement—like the wind and rain. This style makes the scene feel alive, not just drawn. Check out Realism for more works like this.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
