About the piece
A quintessential example of Romantic-era landscape painting, this 1824 work by Joseph Anton Koch depicts the dramatic scenery of the Rosenlaui valley. The composition masterfully leads the eye from the detailed, rocky torrent in the foreground through dense pine forests to the majestic, sunlit peaks of the Wetterhorn. Koch's precise technique and luminous palette evoke the awe-inspiring power and serenity of the high mountains.
