The Jungfrau from Interlaken in Switzerland is a 1855 watercolor by Charles Philip Slocombe, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a misty valley with rolling green hills and a winding dirt road. In the distance, snow-capped mountains rise sharply against a pale sky. The trees along the road are dark and leafy, while the slopes above are dotted with patches of green and shadow. The artist used soft, blended strokes to make the mountains look both solid and dreamy. The light hits the snow in a way that makes it glow, while the valley stays cool and shaded. Next, look up Slocombe, Charles Philip to see how he painted other landscapes.
