Mountain Landscape

Marine Landscape, Alfred Thompson Bricher

Mountains were long things to be feared and skirted; the Romantics taught painting to revere them. The peak became the emblem of the sublime, vast and half-hidden in cloud, and the small figure placed beneath it stood for all of humanity before nature's scale.
