Snow Storm

Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner
Artwork: Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps
Description: In 1810 Turner exhibited Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps, a painting that was inspired by the writings of the Roman historian Livy, who described Hannibal’s crossing of the Alps as one of the most audacious military maneuvers in history. Turner’s painting depicts the Carthaginian general and his army struggling against the harsh conditions of the Alpine winter. The painting is full of drama and movement, and it captures the sense of danger and uncertainty that must have been felt by Hannibal and his men.
