Iceberg, Terra Nova

1859

Frederic Edwin Church capturou o silêncio estranho e majestoso do Atlântico Norte nesta paisagem marinha cheia de atmosfera. Um pequeno iceberg turquesa brilhante está sozinho contra um vasto céu sombrio, cheio de nuvens pesadas e acastanhadas, enfatizando o poder avassalador da natureza – uma marca clássica do Romantismo. Church viajou realmente para Labrador e Terra Nova em 1859 especificamente para esboçar icebergs, fascinado por sua beleza escultural e efêmera antes que derretessem. Este pequeno estudo parece um momento tranquilo e atmosférico congelado no tempo, contrastando o gelo frio e brilhante com a atmosfera quente e tempestuosa.
