"The Gust of Wind" (French: "Coup de vent") is a landscape painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created circa 1865-1870. This work is a quintessential example of Corot's mature style, which blends elements of realism with the poetic sensibility that would influence the Impressionist movement. The painting is characterized by its loose brushwork, subtle color palette, and the evocative portrayal of light and atmosphere, hallmarks of Corot's approach to landscape painting.

In "The Gust of Wind," Corot captures a transient moment in nature, where the wind animates the environment, causing trees to bend and leaves to rustle. The scene is imbued with a sense of movement and immediacy, as Corot masterfully conveys the sensation of the wind's invisible force through the visible sway of the foliage and the dynamic sky. The composition is balanced, with the horizon typically placed low to allow a generous expanse of sky, a technique that enhances the feeling of openness and the ephemeral quality of the moment.

Corot's landscapes often reflect his fascination with the countryside around Paris, the Fontainebleau Forest, and his travels throughout Italy. "The Gust of Wind" continues this tradition, possibly depicting a scene from one of these beloved locales. The painting's serene yet dynamic atmosphere reflects Corot's ability to harmonize nature's tranquility with its vitality, a duality that intrigued the artist throughout his career.

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) was a pivotal figure in landscape painting and is considered a bridge between the neoclassical tradition and the Impressionist movement. His work was influential to many later artists, and "The Gust of Wind" exemplifies the innovative techniques and sensibilities that contributed to his enduring legacy. The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its contribution to the development of landscape painting in the 19th century.
