"Dormant: A Journey through Time and Artistic Expression" Embark on a captivating journey through dormant landscapes, hidden stories, and forgotten emotions. From the majestic Mount Shasta to the poignant "Dying Lion" Memorial at Lucerne, these artworks invite us to explore the depths of stillness. In Mauna Kea, Big Island, Hawaii, we find ourselves in awe of nature's grandeur. The dormant volcano stands tall as a silent witness to centuries gone by. Its serene presence reminds us of the power that lies within tranquility. As we delve into art's diverse forms, Marmottes administratives captivate our attention with their vibrant colors and playful demeanor. This whimsical illustration from Le Pele-Mele transports us to a world where even administrative tasks can be filled with joy. Juxtaposed against this lightheartedness is St. Jerome in His Study—an engraving that captures solitude and introspection. Here, amidst books and quiet contemplation, we discover the beauty found within dormancy—the space for self-reflection and growth. The Artist's Studio takes us back to 1839—a time when pencils danced across paper with red and white chalks creating masterpieces born from imagination. In this tranquil setting, creativity thrives in moments of stillness. In stark contrast emerges the Vision of St. Helena—a vivid portrayal of divine revelation breaking through dormancy's veil. It serves as a reminder that even during periods of apparent slumber or stagnation, life-altering visions can awaken our souls. From biblical narratives like The Gathering of the Manna and Elijah in the Desert to provocative engravings such as Satyr undresses a Nymph—each artwork unveils dormant tales waiting patiently for discovery. Yet not all dormant scenes are filled with wonder; some carry darker undertones like The Murder of Princes in the Tower—a chilling lithograph depicting an infamous historical event.
