More about this artwork

"L'Orage," painted in 1913 by Charles Martin, captures a vivid and evocative scene set within a luxurious stylized environment. This striking piece depicts two women, viewed from behind, standing on a decorated balcony draped with richly colored curtains. The woman on the left, dressed in a flowing yellow gown, braces against the balcony’s pillar, emphasizing a sense of urgency or perhaps stabilizing herself against the unseen force of an approaching storm. Her companion, in a vibrant red gown speckled with black dots, covers her ears, suggesting the roll of thunder is too overpowering.The contrast between their silhouettes and the dramatic backdrop of dark stormy skies blends a sense of foreboding with the elegant tranquility of their surroundings. Martin's use of bold colors and strong outlines, hallmark of the Art Nouveau influence of the time, enhances the emotional and visual impact of the painting."L'Orage" not only reflects the beauty and style of the era but also invites interpretation of its narrative — the anticipation and reaction to the unseen and powerful natural elements, portrayed through the poised and graceful figures.
