After the Storm is a 1889 oil by Antoine Vollon, a Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts a farmhouse after a storm, with a dark and cloudy sky. The farmhouse is in the center of the image, with a red roof and a chimney. There are some trees and bushes around the farmhouse, and a dirt path leading up to it. The painting is done in oil paint and has a realistic style. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and contrast in the image. The farmhouse is well-lit, while the surrounding trees and bushes are in shadow.
