"The Downpour" (French: "L'Averse") is a painting by French artist Paul Sérusier, a post-impressionist painter closely associated with the Nabis, a group of avant-garde artists who emphasized the use of bold colors and abstract forms. Created in 1893, this work is an exemplification of Sérusier's approach to capturing the essence of a scene through the use of color and simplified forms, rather than focusing on realistic representation.

The painting depicts a rural landscape under the conditions of a downpour, with the artist employing heavy, expressive brushstrokes to convey the intensity and immediacy of the rain. The use of a limited color palette, dominated by greens and blues, evokes the mood and atmosphere of the wet environment, while the abstracted shapes and the lack of detailed figures reflect the Nabis' influence and their interest in Japanese prints and the work of Gauguin.

"The Downpour" is considered an important work in Sérusier's oeuvre as it illustrates his transition from the academic style of his early training to the more symbolic and synthetic approach of his later works. The painting is also notable for its contribution to the development of modern art, as it represents a move away from the naturalism of the Impressionists towards a more subjective and interpretive depiction of nature.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of the post-impressionist movement and the evolution of landscape painting at the turn of the 20th century. "The Downpour" continues to be studied for its artistic significance and its role in the broader context of European art history.
