"L'orage" (English: "The Storm") is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1874. Bouguereau was a traditionalist whose realistic genre paintings and mythological themes were modern interpretations of classical subjects, both pagan and Christian. His work was characterized by a highly finished, technically impeccable realism and a focus on the female human body.

The painting "L'orage" is a testament to Bouguereau's skill in capturing the delicate interplay of light and shadow, as well as his ability to render the human figure with lifelike precision. The artwork depicts a pastoral scene in which a young shepherdess is caught in a sudden storm. With dark clouds gathering overhead, she hurries to protect her flock, her expression one of concern and urgency. The drama of the moment is heightened by the contrast between the darkening sky and the soft light that still illuminates the figures and the landscape.

Bouguereau's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the wet drapery clinging to the shepherdess's body and the palpable tension of the scene. The painting is a fine example of Bouguereau's academic style and his dedication to classical themes, imbued with a sense of immediacy and emotional resonance.

"L'orage" reflects the 19th-century Romantic interest in nature's power and the human experience of being caught within it. The work is part of Bouguereau's larger oeuvre, which was celebrated in his time for its beauty and virtuosity but later fell out of favor with the advent of Impressionism and Modernism. However, Bouguereau's paintings have experienced a resurgence in appreciation for their technical skill and storytelling.

As with many of Bouguereau's paintings, "L'orage" is held in high regard by collectors and art historians for its combination of classical beauty and emotional depth. It remains an important piece within the context of 19th-century French painting and Bouguereau's artistic legacy.
