Houses and Stream at Zermatt, Switzerland is a 1822 watercolor by Charles Claude Pyne, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a serene landscape of houses and a stream in Zermatt, Switzerland. The scene is set in a valley, with the houses and stream nestled among the mountains. The artist has used watercolour to create a soft, dreamy effect. In the foreground, the houses and stream are depicted in detail, with the artist paying close attention to the textures and colours of the buildings and the water. The mountains in the background are shown in a softer focus, creating a sense of depth and distance.
