From Baroque Landscape to Modern Art · When Atmosphere Becomes the Subject
Hurricanes, storms, shipwrecks, stormy seas and mountains under the snow transform the landscape into an active force, between sublime, fear and beauty.
The storm disrupts the familiar lines of the landscape. The sky descends, the horizon disappears, the trees bend and the sea becomes a moving mass. In baroque painting, Gaspard Dughet, Aelbert Cuyp or Ludolf Backhuysen organize this disorder with large diagonals: clouds, waves and boats still lead the gaze. Giorgione makes lightning a mysterious event; Magnasco and Géricault associate storm and shipwreck with human fragility. At the turn of the 19th century, the romantic sublime amplified the scale. Turner envelops Hannibal and his army in a snowstorm, while Peder Balke and Albert Bierstadt transform sea or mountains into almost phenomena cosmic. Later, Monet observes the wave and the light without resorting to heroic narrative; Ensor loads bad weather with nervous matter; Henri Rousseau places a surprised tiger in the heart of tropical rain. Hokusai, finally, shows that the summit and the storm can fit into an entirely different graphic relationship. This collection therefore crosses several traditions to show how atmospheric instability produces movement, depth and emotion.
