Storm (Un orage) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, depicting Rain, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a dark stormy scene with trees and a building in the background. This work is interesting because it uses bold lines and shading to create a dramatic atmosphere. The use of light green paper adds a unique touch to the overall mood. To learn more about the process used to create this piece, look into the technique: drypoint.
