"Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps" is an oil painting by the British Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, completed in 1812. The painting is a dramatic and atmospheric representation of the historical event when the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca led his army, including elephants, across the Alps to invade Italy during the Second Punic War in 218 BC. Turner's work is renowned for its sublime portrayal of nature's power and the insignificance of humans in the face of such grandeur.

The painting measures 145.4 × 236.2 cm (57.2 × 93.0 in) and is part of a series of works that Turner produced on the theme of historical and contemporary subjects being overwhelmed by the forces of nature. It is currently housed in the Tate Britain in London.

Turner's "Snow Storm" is characterized by its vigorous brushwork and use of light and color to evoke the tumultuous conditions that Hannibal's army endured. The chaotic weather dominates the scene, with the swirling snow and wind creating a sense of disorientation and struggle. The figures of Hannibal and his troops are dwarfed by the vastness of the landscape, emphasizing the theme of man's vulnerability.

The painting is a testament to Turner's fascination with the sublime and his ability to convey intense emotion and drama through landscape. It also reflects his interest in the power of nature over human endeavors and the historical narrative. "Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps" is considered one of Turner's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the Romantic movement in art, showcasing his innovative approach to painting and his ability to capture the overwhelming force of nature.
