The “Spouting Horn” in a Storm
Southwest Harbor Public Library
Description:
"Even more dramatic is Fenn’s view of the Maine coast, ‘The Spouting Horn’ in a Storm,” with the mast of a wrecked ship, an example of the sublime associated with danger and man’s weakness in face of nature’s power. The metaphor of battle to describe the confrontation of sea and rocky coast had become a literary convention used by several Picturesque America writers." – Part of the author’s discussion of 19th century artists who added drama to what they saw when illustrating it, before the advent of photography. - "Creating picturesque America: Monument to the Natural and Cultural Landscape" by Sue Rainey, Vanderbilt University Press, 1994, p. 215. Drawn by Harry Fenn Wood Engraving by William James Linton [show more]
