About the piece
Painted around 1779 by John Robert Cozens, this work exemplifies the 18th-century obsession with the Sublime. It depicts a rugged mountain pass near Chiavenna, where small figures are dwarfed by the immense geological forms of the Alps, all rendered in a sophisticated palette of muted tones and delicate light.
