Volcano school

Getting to Kilauea, the more frequently painted volcano required an arduous two- or three-day roundtrip journey on horseback.

Printmaker and art educator Huc-Mazelet Luquiens called this period "a little Hawaiian renaissance".

[2] Jules Tavernier (French 1844–1889) was arguably the most important Volcano school painter.

A selection of Volcano school paintings is usually on display at the Honolulu Museum of Art.

Although the American landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church produced similar paintings of Ecuador’s Cotopaxi Volcano during and after visits in 1853 and 1857, he is not considered a member of this group and he never visited the Hawaiian Islands.
