I Need a Painting

There's a painting I'm trying to remember the title and artist of. It's an open-ish field, yellow stalks of grain kind of thing. It's raining, or there's a storm coming in from the upper left of the painting, and there are two people, a guy and a girl, on the bottom-ish right of it, running away. They're mostly nude and they're holding a blanket or something over their heads to protect them from the storm.

So, please tip me off, folks. What's the name of the painting? Who was the artist? What's the style called? A link to a picture of it would not go amiss.

Unsurprisingly, google is giving me exactly jack and shit.

D.R.D.:

You know, that reminds me of a picture of adam and eve fleeing the garden... for an example, since there are a lot of these, http://www.scathach.de/dore/bible/gustave_dore_bibel_adam_and_eve_driven_out_of_eden.jpg

However, there are many many variations of this, and your picture might just be "reminiscent" of this theme.

Jason:

Thanks for the try, David, but I am thinking of a very specific painting. It was (I'm pretty sure) oil work and something in me wants to say pre-Raphaelite (though, as I'm not an art historian, I'm not 100% on that).

As cool as Dore was, the painting I'm thinking of was in color, wasn't Adam and Eve and didn't have any angels in it.
