About the piece

Painted circa 1849, this work by Arnold Böcklin captures the sublime power of the natural world. The composition is defined by the stark contrast between the shadowed foreground of rocky cliffs and rushing water and the ethereal, glowing horizon beneath a heavy sky. A solitary chamois stands on a ridge, adding a sense of scale to the vast, brooding wilderness.
