View of the Matterhorn

1888

Edward Theodore Compton captures the majestic Matterhorn in this stunning 1888 watercolor, showcasing the iconic peak piercing through a hazy, cloud-filled sky. The foreground features rugged, rocky terrain dotted with resilient pine trees, contrasting with the smooth, snow-covered slopes of the mountain in the distance. Compton, known for his Alpine landscapes, masterfully uses light and shadow to convey the sheer scale and grandeur of the Swiss Alps.
