About the piece

Painted in 1861 by Swiss master Alexandre Calame, this work depicts traditional chalets on the slopes of the Rigi mountain range. The composition beautifully balances the rugged textures of the foreground pasture with the ethereal, blue-toned peaks receding into a luminous sky, exemplifying the Romantic appreciation for the sublime alpine landscape.
