Sunlit Peak

Wellhorn, near Meirengen, in the Swiss Alps. The artist made a laborious chmb of 2000 feet to paint this imposing picture, for Wellhorn held for him an allure not to be resisted at any cost. But no mountain climber ever came back with richer reward than this canvas—and now the painter hands it on to us. In sunlight the snow gleams clear and jewel-like against the densely and intensely blue shadows. The valley below, too, is equally vivid—green grass and blue stream, the pines shadowed with blue.
