From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Mountainous Landscape is a 1889 watercolor by John Ruskin, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet mountain scene with soft, rolling hills and a jagged peak in the distance. The sky is pale blue with light clouds, and the ground is a mix of browns and greens. Two small figures stand near a rocky outcrop, looking out over the valley. The brushstrokes are loose and watery, giving the scene a dreamy, light-filled feel. This style was popular in the late 1800s for capturing nature’s moods. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
