The Storm, 1880 Pierre-Auguste Cot (French, 1837–1883)
I have to admit I had "a crush" on this painting. I had come across it somewhere online a few years back. On a trip to New York a friend surprised me by taking me to see the original painting at the MOMA (Metropolitan Museum of Art).
All I can say is wow! It was larger than life. This picture certainly does not do this painting justice let me tell you. It is absolutely gorgeous, so after seeing it up close and personal, I was totally in love with this painting.
It has always enthralled me from the moment I laid eyes on it, always will. Did you ever just see a painting you absolutely had to have?
I want this one, the original, its hard to hang a copy when you've seen the original. Do you think the MOMA would ever sell it to the highest bidder? Maybe I could hire an art thief to steal it!
Oh well, I guess I'll be disappointed again when Christmas comes and its not taking up my whole livingroom!
