"The Storm" (French: "La Tempête") is a renowned oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Pierre Auguste Cot, completed in 1880. This Romantic work is celebrated for its captivating depiction of two young lovers caught in a sudden downpour. The painting, measuring 234.3 cm × 156.2 cm (92.2 in × 61.5 in), is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it has been since its acquisition from the artist's sale in 1880 by Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, one of the museum's benefactors.

Cot, a student of the academic painter Alexandre Cabanel, was known for his neoclassical and romantic works that often featured themes of love and nature. "The Storm" is emblematic of his style, combining a neoclassical attention to form and detail with a romantic sensibility towards subject and atmosphere. The painting depicts a young man and woman in a dynamic and fluid composition as they rush to find shelter from an impending storm. The male figure is seen protectively embracing the female, who looks back over her shoulder with an expression of playful anxiety. Their classical drapery clings to their bodies, emphasizing their youthful forms and the movement of their flight.

The work's popularity is attributed to its romantic portrayal of beauty and emotion, as well as its technical excellence. Cot's use of light, color, and texture enhances the sensuality and drama of the scene. The lush landscape background, with darkening skies and the suggestion of turbulent weather, adds to the intensity of the moment, while the figures' interaction provides a narrative that has intrigued and captivated viewers since its creation.

"The Storm" has been widely reproduced and has become an iconic image of romantic love. It remains a highlight of Cot's artistic legacy and continues to be a favorite among visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of classical beauty with a poignant, timeless portrayal of human emotion and the natural world.
