Galerie Mont Great Panorama of the Alps, the Dent du Midi – Gustave Courbet^ Courbet

A great panorama of the Alps, Gustave Courbet’s Dent du Midi transports us to the heart of the majestic mountains. The painting reveals the Dent du Midi, an imposing summit whose snow-covered flanks stand out against an azure sky. The shades of white in the snow contrast with the dark hues of the rocks, evoking the grandeur and ruggedness of Alpine nature.

Courbet, an exponent of realism, excelled at capturing natural landscapes. In this work, he chose to highlight the raw, unadorned beauty of the Alps. The landscape genre is magnified here, with every detail, from the mountain ridges to the shadows cast, testifying to the immensity and power of the mountain as it confronts the viewer.
