"Embracing the Rain: A Journey Through Art and History" As raindrops gently tap against the windowpane, transporting us to a world of tranquility, we find solace in the rainy weather. Just like "Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins, this atmospheric phenomenon captivates our senses and sets the stage for stories yet untold. Intriguingly, even General Grant sought shelter from the rain before battle at Belmont, Missouri in 1861. The image from "The History of Our Country" depicts his determination amidst nature's adversity. Similarly, an egret braves a storm in a mesmerizing colour woodcut from 1900-36 – a testament to resilience and grace under pressure. It also unveils hidden gems such as Kinlochaline Castle captured on canvas in 1855. Its ancient walls stand tall against the backdrop of rainfall - a symbol of strength enduring through time. Conversely, "The cursed wood, " depicted in a litho from 1918, reveals an eerie beauty that only emerges when skies darken with clouds. Monte Gennaro's rain-clouds painted on canvas in 1904 evoke emotions ranging from melancholy to introspection. Meanwhile, "Rain thickness, " an oil painting dating back to 1895 showcases how precipitation can transform landscapes into ethereal realms where reality blurs with imagination. Even centuries ago during early nineteenth century rains were not just mere showers but opportunities for contemplation as seen through "Lady on a terrace seeking shelter. " This delicate gouache with gold on paper portrays her quest for refuge amidst nature's downpour. Curiously enough, firing cannons into clouds was once believed to halt hail storms – as illustrated by a print from 1901. Such inventive attempts remind us of humanity's relentless pursuit to tame nature's whims. Lastly, let us journey back further still - envisioning Earth during the Permian period through Edouard Riou's engraving from Louis Figuier's book.
