Witness the power of nature's fury in this captivating collection moments. From biblical tales to picturesque landscapes, these images depict the awe-inspiring force and beauty of hailstorms. In John Martin's painting "Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still upon Gibeon, " a dramatic scene unfolds as Joshua commands the sun to halt during battle, while ominous dark clouds gather overhead, foretelling an impending hailstorm. Traveling back in time, we find ourselves amidst ancient Egypt during the Plague of Hailstorm. The sky turns into a tempestuous battleground as massive hailstones rain down on unsuspecting inhabitants, leaving destruction in their wake. Moving northwards to Norway's Flakstad beach after a sunset hailstorm, Skagsanden reveals its enchanting beauty. The golden hour illuminates scattered ice pellets glistening like diamonds on the sand, creating an ethereal atmosphere that captivates all who witness it. An exceptional hailstorm with half-kilogram grains unleashes its wrath for nearly two hours—a true spectacle captured in vivid detail through a color lithograph. Each grain becomes a weapon from above, reminding us of nature's ability to both amaze and terrify simultaneously. Religious art tells stories too; St. Mark meets his martyrdom in tempera on panel within Linaiuoli Triptych predella. Meanwhile, St. Catherine faces her own fate through a haunting woodcut depiction—one can almost hear the thunderous roar accompanying each strike of icy projectiles against her body. Snowdon bears witness to April's unpredictable weather as it endures an unexpected onslaught from above—hail pelting its slopes and transforming them into temporary winter wonderlands—an extraordinary sight captured delicately with watercolors on paper. The Battle of Omdurman showcases not only human conflict but also Mother Nature's intervention—a cannon stands tall protecting crops from devastating hailstorms—highlighting mankind's ingenuity in the face of nature's wrath.
