About this listen
This episode of Barely Emerging we give the word "Sublime" a quick Google and talk about what we found.
Mainly, a lot of seascapes and long-dead artists with too many names.
But also, we uncovered a rich catalogue of artists from throughout history who have sought to give face to their feelings of awe and inadequacy when confronted with the stupendousness of the natural world. Who have attempted to capture on canvas the feeling of overwhelm and wonderment that comes from pondering ones place in the vast and unknowable universe, and realising that they are but one diminutive cog in a machine that can, and will, survive long after they have ceased to be a part of it. Or, who have sought to understand and share the breathless love and quiet terror of existing under the weight of heaven.
You know, fun little things like that.
