Description: METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART MMA Framed "The Storm" Pierre Auguste Cot Size: 13 x 16" Style- Art Nouveau Painting created in 1880 Gold Frame Sold by museum in 1997 Museum quality reproduction Very good condition- some scratches on frame (see close up photos) From MMA- "When Cot exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1880, critics speculated about the source of the subject. Some proposed the French novel Paul and Virginie by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737–1814), in which the teenage protagonists run for shelter in a rainstorm, using the heroine’s overskirt as an impromptu umbrella; others suggested the romance Daphnis and Chloe by the ancient Greek writer Longus. New York collector and Metropolitan Museum benefactor Catharine Lorillard Wolfe commissioned the work under the guidance of her cousin John Wolfe, one of Cot's principal patrons. Like the artist’s earlier Springtime (2012.575), it was immensely popular and extensively reproduced." 565
