About the piece

Painted by François Diday in 1855, this work exemplifies the Romantic fascination with the sublime power of nature. The composition leads the eye from the rugged foreground stream and bridge toward the towering, fog-shrouded peaks of the Grimsel region, rendered with masterful dramatic lighting and deep tonal contrast.
