King Lear in the Storm is a 1788 oil on canvas history painting by the American-British artist Benjamin West. It depicts an episode from William Shakespeare's play King Lear. Drawn from Act 3, Scene 4 of the tragedy, it shows the king refusing to accept the hospitality of his scheming daughters and walking out on the moors during a storm. It marked a break from the Neoclassical style West had previously used and anticipated the emerging Romanticism movement. It is also known simply as King Lear, although the longer title distinguishes it from West's 1784 painting King Lear and Cordelia.
