The Storm is a 1814 oil by Georges Michel, a french_romanticism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a dark, swirling sky over a low hill. Heavy clouds block the sun. A few thin trees lean in the wind. The sky isn’t just gray—it’s full of motion. Georges Michel painted storms like this over and over. He liked to show nature’s wild side. If you like this sky drama, check out the Art Institute of Chicago.
