"
The Gust of Wind (
French:
Le grand vent), alternatively titled
Le Coup de Vent or
High Wind, is an oil-on-canvas painting completed in 1872 by the French artist
Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The composition portrays wind sweeping across the hilly terrain in the
Île-de-France region. It is part of Renoir's
plein air landscape series from the 1870s, during the height of the
Impressionist movement, and is currently housed at the
Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. Scholars generally attribute
The Gust of Wind to the summers of 1872 and 1873, a time frame described as classic Impressionism, and a period marked by Renoir's collaboration with Monet. While debates persist regarding the precise date and location of the painting's creation, it is thought to either depict the specific
Saint-Cloud area, or the general region of
Île-de-France. ..."
