About the piece
Created in 1776 by Caspar Wolf, this oil on canvas painting is a definitive example of early Alpine landscape art. It depicts the glacier of Lauteraar in the Swiss Alps, using a palette of cool greys and warm earth tones to illustrate the sublime scale of the peaks against the small figures of explorers in the foreground.
