"King Lear and the Fool in the Storm" is an oil painting by the Scottish artist William Dyce (1806–1864), completed in 1851. The artwork is a dramatic representation of a scene from William Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear," showcasing the moment when the aged King Lear, driven to madness and wandering in a tempestuous storm, is accompanied only by his loyal Fool. The painting is a masterful depiction of the emotional intensity and the themes of nature's power and human frailty that are central to the play.

Dyce, who was a significant figure in the art world of the 19th century and a proponent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, was known for his historical and genre paintings, as well as for his contributions to the decoration of the Palace of Westminster. In "King Lear and the Fool in the Storm," Dyce combines his interest in Shakespearean drama with his skill in capturing the sublime forces of nature. The painting is characterized by its atmospheric effects, the stark contrast between the vulnerability of the figures and the wildness of the storm, and the poignant depiction of Lear's descent into despair alongside the unwavering support of his Fool.

The work is held in high regard for its artistic and literary significance, as it reflects the Victorian fascination with Shakespeare and the era's engagement with the visual arts as a means of exploring complex psychological and moral issues. "King Lear and the Fool in the Storm" is part of the collection of the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, where it continues to be studied and admired for its powerful visual narrative and its place within the broader context of 19th-century British art.
