Eugen Bracht, Matterhorn
He painted the Matterhorn many times in various lighting conditions. This one is front-lit, normally a difficult lighting arrangement to pull off. The reflection is neatly placed in the pool of glacial meltwater.
Although his origins as a painter were academic, Bracht was receptive to impressionist ideas, and he painted scenes like this in the open air.
When he painted scenes from the Near East and north Africa, he liked to interpret the scope and scale of the landscape.
His forest studies explored ways to simplify the immense complexity of the subject, sometimes using mist and atmosphere and broadly applied strokes of paint.
