1874
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Storm (Un orage) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, depicting Rain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a dark, swirling storm with jagged lightning bolts striking the ground. The thick lines and rough textures make the sky feel heavy and alive. The edges fade into lighter gray, giving the storm a fading glow. Legros was trained in France but spent most of his career in London. He taught etching and helped revive the art form in England. His work often balanced drama with quiet realism. Curious about his style? Try looking up Legros, Alphonse.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
