Galerie Mont The storm beneath the summit – Hokusai^ Hokusai

In The Storm Under the Peak, Hokusai, the master of ukiyo-e, plunges us into the heart of nature’s fury. This work depicts a scene of Mount Fuji which, despite the storm, stands stoically and unwaveringly in the face of the storm below. The dark colour palette, mixed with the white of the sky, reinforces the drama of the painting. This is not just a landscapehttps://montblancgallery.co.uk… that Hokusai presents to us, but a veritable allegory of the conflict between the ephemeral and the immutable. Nature is both destructive and creative, and Hokusai, with his characteristic precision, captures this fragile yet powerful balance, echoing the human condition in the face of the elements.
