Storm: Sundown 1892

David Young Cameron etched "Storm: Sundown," capturing a landscape dominated by a looming storm and a solitary windmill. Windmills, throughout history, have been more than mere machines. They are symbols of human struggle against the elements, a testament to our effort to harness nature's power. Consider how the image of the windmill reappears across cultures, from the Dutch Masters to Cervantes' Don Quixote, each time embodying different aspirations and anxieties. In "Storm: Sundown," the windmill stands silhouetted against the tempestuous sky, a beacon of resilience. The image of the storm can be traced back to ancient mythologies, a representation of chaos and emotional upheaval. This dichotomy stirs something primal within us. It's a visual echo of our internal battles and external confrontations with the unpredictable forces that shape our lives.
