Landscape In The High Mountains
Landscape In The High Mountains by Dutch Painter Alexander Joseph Daiwaille (1818 – 1888); portrait and landscape painter.
This is a wonderful looking country scene with people riding their horses and walking down a country path, as still others rest on the side of the path taking in natures beauty.
The path is lined with trees, bushes and tall grass; and to the left of it os a running stream with boulders in it.
In the background we can see multiple cliffs on either side and in the distance a mountain range, part of which is covered in snow, with large clouds overhead highlighted by a beautiful blue sky as the sun illuminates the mountain range and clouds with its golden rays of light.
