About the piece
Painted in 1838 by Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, this work epitomizes the Romantic fascination with the sublime power of nature. The composition masterfully contrasts the dark, shadowed depths of the alpine forest and rocky stream with the luminous, sunlit face of the Wetterhorn mountain, all beneath a quiet crescent moon.
