After the Storm is a 1844 oil by Eugène Isabey, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows a dramatic scene of a shipwreck. The dark sky is filled with thick, grey clouds, and the sea is rough and choppy. In the foreground, a small boat is being tossed about by the waves, with people on board clinging to it for dear life. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to convey the sense of turmoil and chaos. The overall mood of the painting is one of intensity and drama, drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the storm. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
