The Approaching Storm is a 1870 oil by Narcisse Virgilio Díaz, held at Norton Simon Museum.
The painting depicts a landscape with a tree on the right side, its branches stretching upwards. The sky is filled with dark clouds, and the sun shines through a gap, casting a beam of light. In the foreground, rocks and bushes are visible, while the background features trees and a cloudy sky. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's brushstrokes are visible, adding texture to the work. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Narcisse Virgilio Díaz.
Narcisse Virgilio Díaz (1807–1876) was a French artist, born in Bordeaux.
