Storm (Un orage) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, depicting Rain, held at National Gallery of Art.
A storm rolls across a dark sky. Rain falls in thick gray streaks. Lightning splits the clouds above a quiet landscape. Legros made this print in 1880. Drypoint lets him scratch lines into a metal plate. Ink fills the scratches then presses onto paper. The green tint adds a cold, wet feeling. Try printing your own drypoint. See Legros, Alphonse.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
