“…Communicational evidence refers to the capacity of humans to communicate changes in their environment, which is conveyed through artistic and pictorial artworks and written documents. For example, relationships between climate and artistic productions were demonstrated by Robinson (2005), Behringer (2010), and Metzger (2013); and Haldon et al (2014) described the capacity of written archives to provide information on specific events, phenomena, and processes that can be discontinuous and of short duration. Therefore, subjectivity of human observation is unavoidable and can be influenced by cultural, social, and professional position.…”

This interdisciplinary study presents a human perspective on climatic variations by combining documentary, discursive, instrumental, and proxy data. Historical sources were used to characterize climate variations along the coast of Labrador/Nunatsiavut during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Written and early instrumental archives provided original information on the state and perception of climate before the establishment of meteorological stations, which permitted an intra-annual perspective on climatic variations. Written sources depicted the sensitivity of humans to climatic variations. Exceptional seasonal climatic events were extracted from documentary and discursive sources, which were complemented by tree-ring and early instrumental data. From 1780 to 1900, data indicated a succession of relatively warm and cold episodes. Most warm periods were described as stormy and variable. The final part of the studied records showed cold conditions from 1900 to 1925 and warm conditions from 1925 to 1950. Historical sources helped to discriminate a seasonal signal. Mild autumn-winter conditions were recorded since 1910 in relation with positive anomalies of the North Atlantic Oscillation in winter. Relatively warm spring-summer conditions were recorded after 1920, which corresponds to a phase of positive anomaly of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation.

“…Ici, c'est le vent qui fait tourner les pales du moulin, là, c'est tel nuage qui annonce une perturbation, ailleurs, c'est le froid qui permet à des villageois de patiner sur la glace. Et l'on pourrait s'attacher à une étude plus fine de chaque élément météorologique composant le type de temps (Gedzelman, 1991et Metzger, 2013. 13 Ces deux peintures sont emblématiques des choix de types de temps opérés par les artistes espagnols ou hollandais.…”

Les temporalités climatiques des paysages d’hiver hollandais

L’essor de la peinture hollandaise est une des facettes les plus riches du Siècle d’or. Au sein de cette profusion picturale, s’interroger sur les temporalités des paysages d’hiver apparaît porteur de réflexions pertinentes, aussi bien méthodologiques que conceptuelles. Il s’agira dans cet article d’analyser ces temporalités à travers des types de représentations picturales hollandaises, appartenant à un territoire à peu près homogène pour le climat, identifié politiquement et socialement au XVIIe siècle. En premier lieu, ces peintures s’inscrivent enfin dans une temporalité climatique pluriséculaire, le petit âge glaciaire (vers 1300-1860). L’autre pas de temps à analyser est celui de la saison hivernale. Enfin, un pas de temps très court correspondant à la journée, au temps qu’il fait, sera interrogé. Assurément, ces différentes temporalités sont imbriquées car certains types de temps appartiennent à l’hiver, qui est particulièrement long et froid au petit âge glaciaire.
