About the piece
Painted in 1774 by Caspar Wolf, a pioneer of alpine landscape painting, this work captures the sublime scale of the Swiss mountains. The village of Leukerbad is shown dwarfed by the immense, shadowed crags of the Gemmi Pass, while figures in the foreground provide a sense of scale and human narrative within the vast natural environment.
