The Eagle's Nest, Skye is a 1865 oil by George Paul Chalmers, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a rugged landscape with a large rock formation in the foreground, covered in grass and moss. The background features a vast, open area with distant hills and a cloudy sky. A narrow path leads to the left of the rock, adding depth to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of natural beauty and serenity. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
