"The South-West Wind" (Italian: "Il vento di ponente") is a painting by Giovanni Fattori, an Italian artist known for his role in the Macchiaioli movement, which sought to emphasize the use of patches of color and light in painting, akin to the French Impressionists. Created in 1891, the artwork is a prime example of Fattori's mature style, where he often depicted scenes of rural life and landscapes with a particular focus on the effects of light and atmosphere.

The painting portrays a scene dominated by the force of the south-west wind, known as "ponente" in Italian, which is a common meteorological phenomenon in the Mediterranean region. Fattori's skill in rendering the movement of the wind and its impact on the environment is evident in the bent grass, the trees' swaying branches, and the figures bracing against the gusts. His use of earthy tones and loose brushwork captures the essence of the Tuscan countryside, a subject to which he frequently returned throughout his career.

Measuring 59.5 cm by 74 cm, "The South-West Wind" is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Fattori to achieve both detail and spontaneity. The painting is part of a collection at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Palazzo Pitti, Florence, which houses many significant works of Italian art from the 18th to the 20th century.

As a representative work of the Macchiaioli movement, "The South-West Wind" reflects the group's interest in capturing the transient effects of light and the naturalistic portrayal of the landscape. Fattori's contribution to this movement is underscored by his ability to convey the raw energy of the natural world, a theme that resonates throughout his oeuvre. The painting is not only a testament to Fattori's artistic prowess but also an important piece within the broader context of 19th-century Italian art.
