The Volcano School was a loose group of artists working in late nineteenth-century Hawaiʻi, known for their paintings of active volcanoes. Mostly outsiders to Native Hawaiian culture, they responded to a wider demand for dramatic images of natural wonders. Charles Furneaux, Jules Tavernier and D. Howard Hitchcock were among the painters associated with the school. Their interests also extended to other Hawaiian landscapes.
