Work Overview
- Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps
ARTIST Joseph Mallord William Turner
MEDIUM Oil paint on canvas
DIMENSIONS Support: 1460 x 2375 mm
COLLECTION Tate
For Turner, the figure of Hannibal – here leading his armies to attack Italy – had powerful associations with Napoleon. These connections had been explicitly drawn in an official portrait of Napoleon about to lead his own armies across the St Bernard Pass. Snow Storm, however, does not celebrate the power of the individual, but expresses man’s vulnerability in the face of nature’s overwhelming force. Hannibal himself is not pictured, and attention is focused upon victims of the conflict, the struggling soldiers.
