This is cute. Seems that the big volcano explosions of the 1800's affected landscape artists. When really big volcano blows, the ash is sent all over the world. 1816 was known as the 'year without a summer'. We need one of those to counteract 'Global Warming'! (Just kidding!)
The ash creates much redder sunrises and sunsets. I remember camping when Mt. St. Helens blew and noticing all the ash on the bushes. It's a reminder that when all the rage involves meteorites, that volcanism can be pretty powerful.

"The Scream" with its reddish background is supposed to depict one of those volcano-influenced sunsets.
