The artwork, titled “Volcano at Dawn. Stromboli. Italy,” was created by the artist Nan Goldin in 1996. It is a Contemporary photograph that captures the iconic volcanic landscape of Stromboli at dawn.
In the artwork, a solitary volcanic island emerges from the tranquil expanse of the sea, bathed in the ethereal light of dawn. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic palette of blues, imbuing the composition with a serene yet mysterious ambiance. The shape of the volcano is clearly distinguishable, with a faint plume of smoke subtly rising from its peak, indicating its active nature. The surrounding sky and sea blend seamlessly, creating a harmonious and meditative visual experience. This photograph encapsulates the quiet majesty and raw beauty of the natural world, conveying a sense of solitude and contemplation.
