L'œuvre en bref
William Turner's Hannibal and his Men Crossing the Alps offers a wild and unpredictable view of nature and war, enveloped in a symphony of changing colours, marking the apogee of British Romanticism. This historic landscape depicts the Carthaginian army on the march, almost engulfed by the power of the mountainous environment. Tumultuous shades of grey, white and ochre intermingle to form a seething storm, while touches of luminous yellow suggest a flickering light through the chaos.
In this work, Turner does not seek to reproduce anatomical or topographical realism, but rather to evoke feelings through the power of his natural elements. The painting captures a moment of dread and adversity in the heart of the Alps, all rendered with a bold expressiveness and visual lyricism typical of the artist, already heralding the approach of modern art.
