The Storm is a painting by French artist Pierre Auguste Cot, completed in 1883. Currently on display at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the painting was commissioned from the artist in 1880 by Catharine Lorillard Wolfe under the guidance of her cousin John Wolfe, one of Cot's principal patrons.
Though long regarded as a symbol of late nineteenth century academicism, The Storm, even today, continues to attract a littany of caustic attacks.
