Storm is a 1891 ink by Anders Zorn, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a horse and rider in motion, captured in a dynamic pose. The horse is shown in mid-gallop, its legs extended as it runs through a stormy landscape. The rider, dressed in a hat and coat, sits atop the horse, holding onto the reins as they navigate the turbulent weather. The background of the painting is a dark and ominous sky, with thick clouds and heavy rain pouring down. The overall mood of the painting is one of energy and movement, capturing the intensity of the storm and the determination of the rider and horse as they push through it. The artist's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors adds to the sense of drama and tension in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures of the horse and rider.
