Vesuvius, Etna, Fuji and beyond · Sublime, memory and sacred mountain
Crater on fire, sacred summit or distant silhouette, the volcano forces painting to hold together beauty, threat, geological permanence and human time.
Volcanic landscapes cross very distant visual traditions. In Europe, Vesuvius became a destination for the Grand Tour in the 18th century after the rediscovery of Pompeii: travelers sought an experience of the sublime where fascination and danger mingled. Pierre-Jacques Volaire specialized in nocturnal eruptions, while Johan Christian Dahl went to Vesuvius in December 1820 to paint the phenomenon as closely as possible before drawing a large canvas in 1824. Etna structured the views of Sicily by its distance and its scale. In Japan, Mount Fuji is not limited to a geological phenomenon: sacred mountain, territorial landmark and poetic subject, it inspires Tani Bunchô and Hokusai. Comparing these works therefore reveals several regimes of the gaze: observation, travel memory, natural spectacle, spiritual symbol and construction of identity. The "Volcanic Landscapes" selection notably compares An Eruption of Vesuvius and Mount Fuji. His reading favors drawing.
The volcano appears motionless from the plain; the painting reminds us that it simultaneously contains deep time and the possibility of event.
