"Orage Sur La Handeck" (Storm over the Handeck) is an oil painting by the Swiss landscape artist Alexandre Calame (1810–1864). Created in 1851, the painting is a quintessential example of the Romantic movement's fascination with the sublime and the dramatic forces of nature. Calame, renowned for his mastery in depicting the Swiss Alps, captures a moment of intense atmospheric disturbance over the Handeck Gorge in the Bernese Oberland.

The painting's composition is characterized by a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, with the storm's dark clouds looming over the rugged mountain scenery. The Handeck Falls, a prominent feature in the landscape, are rendered with vigorous brushwork that conveys the power and movement of the cascading water. Calame's use of chiaroscuro enhances the emotional impact of the scene, emphasizing the contrast between the storm's impending violence and the fleeting moments of tranquility in the sunlit areas of the landscape.

"Orage Sur La Handeck" reflects Calame's deep appreciation for the untamed beauty of the Swiss Alps and his ability to evoke a sense of awe and reverence for nature's grandeur. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in landscape painting and his influence on the Swiss national identity through his romanticized portrayals of the Alpine environment. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Alexandre Calame and contributes to the understanding of 19th-century European landscape art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. It is a valuable piece for scholars interested in the Romantic period, the representation of natural phenomena in art, and the development of Swiss landscape painting.
