"La Tempête" (The Storm) is a renowned marine painting by the French artist Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714–1789), created in 1759 during the Rococo period, which was characterized by an emphasis on lightness, grace, and the use of delicate colors. Vernet was celebrated for his seascapes that often depicted the grandeur and power of nature, and "La Tempête" is a prime example of his mastery in capturing the dramatic intensity of a maritime storm.

The painting showcases Vernet's ability to convey the raw emotion and turmoil of a tempest at sea, with dark clouds looming overhead and waves crashing violently against the rocks. In the foreground, shipwrecked sailors and distressed figures are depicted amidst the chaos, struggling against the elements, which adds a human element to the natural spectacle. The work is imbued with a sense of movement and urgency, as Vernet skillfully renders the swirling winds, the spray of the sea, and the dynamic play of light and shadow.

"La Tempête" reflects the 18th-century fascination with the sublime, a concept that celebrates the awe-inspiring and terrifying aspects of nature's power, which can overwhelm human emotions and reason. Vernet's painting invites viewers to contemplate the sublime force of the storm, evoking feelings of both fear and admiration. The piece is also indicative of the shifting attitudes towards nature during the Enlightenment, where there was a growing interest in the scientific study of the natural world and its phenomena.

Held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance, "La Tempête" is considered one of Vernet's most important works. It is often analyzed within the context of his other seascapes and is frequently discussed in art historical literature for its contribution to the genre of marine painting and its reflection of Enlightenment ideals. The painting is part of a larger body of Vernet's work that helped establish him as one of the leading landscape and seascape painters of his time.
