About the piece

Created in 1774 by Caspar Wolf, a pioneer of alpine painting, this oil on canvas captures the Bridge and Dala Gorge in Leuk. The work masterfully employs chiaroscuro, contrasting the deep shadows of the foreground cliffs with the sunlit valley and distant peaks, embodying the Romantic fascination with the sublime power of nature.
