"L'averse" (The Shower) is a notable painting by the Swiss/French artist Félix Édouard Vallotton, created in 1898 during a period when the artist was associated with the Nabis, a group of Post-Impressionist avant-garde artists who set the pace for fine arts and graphic arts in France in the 1890s. Vallotton was known for his bold, often satirical works and his skill in woodcut printmaking, but "L'averse" is a painting that exemplifies his keen sense of atmosphere and his ability to capture the mood of a scene.

The painting depicts an urban street scene in Paris, just after a rain shower. The wet pavement reflects the overcast sky and the figures of the pedestrians are rendered with a sense of haste, as they scurry to avoid the rain. The composition is characterized by a dramatic use of light and shadow, with the dark silhouettes of the figures set against the gleaming, light-reflecting street. Vallotton's use of color is restrained, with a largely monochromatic palette that enhances the feeling of dampness and the chill of a sudden downpour.

"L'averse" is considered an important work in Vallotton's oeuvre, as it captures the transition from the artist's early interest in the narrative and decorative qualities of the Nabis to his later, more realistic approach. The painting is also noted for its photographic quality, a result of Vallotton's interest in the interplay between painting and photography, which was emerging as a significant art form at the time.

This painting is held in high esteem not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical significance as a reflection of the changing urban environment of Paris at the turn of the 20th century and the evolving nature of modern life. "L'averse" remains a testament to Vallotton's innovative spirit and his contribution to the development of modern art.
