Today we use the adjective ‘sublime’ to describe anything great from delicious food to a brilliant performance by a musician or athlete. In the history of ideas, ‘the sublime’ refers to something that overwhelms our ability to comprehend its grandiosity, producing a feeling of awe and pleasurable terror. As philosophers and artists explored human responses to sublime sights and events in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Vesuvius was active and its thrilling eruptions became a major subject for landscape artists. This talk will explore images of Mount St. Helens – before, during and after the great eruption of 1980 – in relation to the expression of the sublime in art through the ages.
