La Nuée d'orage 1882 - 1884

"La Nuée d'orage" (The Storm Cloud) is an etching by Félix Bracquemond, created between 1882 and 1884. The print depicts a landscape scene with a dramatic sky, punctuated by a brilliant ray of sunlight piercing through the clouds. In the foreground, a group of geese walk in a field, their forms silhouetted against the intense light. The composition, with its emphasis on light and shadow, is characteristic of Bracquemond's Impressionist style. This artwork is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
