As yesterday was a public holiday in France (ascension of Christ) Nono and me decided to go to Le Louvre. Of course we saw the Joconde , the Venus de Milo and the other known art objects.
During the visit we see that Le Louvre has receipt a new painting, it's from John Martin: Pandemonium
John Martin (1789–1854) is an english painter and this painting was the first at The Louvre.
A sample of his work: paintings
I'm not an art fan but in his work it's easy to see the power of the nature and the smallness of the human race. I think today is always true; just seen the severals hurricans and tidal waves, humans could do nothing; else anticipate it.
In these paintings we could feel this power and our fragility. We could see earth, sea, weather etc... like superior entities.
Moreover I don't know if this painting style is common in this century (beginning of the 19th) but I didn't see these colors and may be this "violence" before.
