PIERRE-AUGUSTE COT. THE STORM

The Storm. Artist: Pierre-Auguste Cot (French, Bédarieux 1837-1883 Paris). Dimensions: 92 1/4 x 61 3/4 in. (234.3 x 156.8 cm). Date: 1880.
When Cot exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1880, critics speculated about the source of the subject. Some proposed the French novel <i>Paul and Virginie</i> 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 <i>Daphnis and Chloe</i> 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 <i>Springtime</i> (2012.575), it was immensely popular and extensively reproduced.
