About the piece
Painted in 1877, this oil on canvas by Winslow Homer captures the rugged beauty of a mountain ascent. The composition is defined by the sharp diagonal of a dark ridge against a vast, luminous sky, while the figures in their period dress add a sense of narrative and human scale to the wild terrain.
