Chailli: End of a Storm (Effet d'orage) is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a landscape with a large tree in the foreground, its branches stretching towards the left side of the canvas. The tree is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a cloudy sky, with the sun peeking through the clouds. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the mood of the scene, from the deep greens of the foliage to the soft blues and grays of the sky. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, you might want to explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
