More about this artwork
Ernst Schiess's exquisite painting, "View on the Aletsch Glacier II," captures the raw beauty and formidable presence of Switzerland's largest glacier. Using an impressionistic style, Schiess conveys both the physical grandeur and the ephemeral qualities of this majestic ice flow.In this work, thick, expressive brushstrokes define the broad sweep of the glacier as it carves through the mountainous landscape. The palette is primarily composed of cool blues and whites, suggesting the icy surface, while hints of green and brown at the edges and peaks bring a sense of rugged, earthly contrast. The light appears to dance across the glacier's surface, creating a play of shadows and highlights that give the scene a dynamic and almost ethereal quality.This painting not only showcases Schiess’s skill in depicting natural landscapes but also evokes a deep emotional response from the viewer, reminding us of the timeless allure and fragility of our natural world. "View on the Aletsch Glacier II" stands as a poignant representation of nature’s quiet grandeur, immortalized through the artist's sensitive and compelling approach.
