From the collection of National Gallery of Art
View of a Farm Seen in a Storm (La ferme de Brieux (Effet d'orage)) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a farm scene in the midst of a storm, with a large building and trees in the background. The artist has used dark lines and shading to create a sense of drama and tension, with the storm clouds looming over the landscape. In the foreground, the artist has included some details that add to the sense of realism, such as the texture of the trees and the roughness of the ground. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the storm is about to break at any moment. This painting is characteristic of the Romanticism movement, which emphasized emotion and imagination in art. For more information on this style, look up Romanticism.
