About the piece
Hubert von Herkomer captures the rugged majesty of the Bavarian Alps in this 1884 oil painting. The composition focuses on a gnarled, 'dying' tree—the monarch of the title—standing resiliently against a dramatic mountain backdrop, rendered in a sophisticated palette of earth tones and moody ochres.
