About the artwork

In the foreground, a clear mountain stream gurgles over smoothly polished stones through a lush green alpine valley lined with knee-high grass and scattered rocky outcrops. The light falls soft and cool, giving the surface of the water a silvery shimmer and emphasising the lush green tones of the valley, which resembles a pasture. In the centre, the valley leads the line of sight deep into the picture and provides a clear perspective.

At the edge of the valley are scattered conifers and dense bushes, painted in muted shades of green and brown and given structure with fine brushstrokes. The vegetation gives way towards the back in favour of rougher bands of rock painted in cooler shades of grey.

In the background, monumental, snow-covered peaks of the Mont Blanc massif rise up in a clear, heroic composition. The peaks are painted in bright shades of white and blue-grey, with precise contrasts of light and shadow modelling their angular forms. The sky above is wide and clear with delicate clouds emphasising the alpine height.

The painting style is reminiscent of Alexandre Calame, with carefully crafted landscape detail, fine, precise brushstrokes for rocks and vegetation, and a dramatically tranquil atmosphere that conveys the majesty of the mountains and the stillness of the valley. The colour palette remains natural and muted with an emphasis on cool blues and greys for the mountains and lush greens in the foreground.
