Mont Blanc Mountain Paintings and Mountain Art

Early printed engravings of Chamonix and Mont Blanc by William Windham in 1742 started to attract attention and drew other visitors to the valley. Artists, including William Pars, visited Chamonix in 1770; Linck, Hackert, Terry et al. were attracted by Mont Blanc, whilst the remote Matterhorn, or Cervin, did not become the subject of the artist's brush until early 1800.

  Mountaineers, professional men, came to the Alps purely for mountaineering. Some would invite an artist to accompany them to paint the peaks climbed. As a permanent record of their achievements these paintings would also delight and impress friends and acquaintances.

Some artists painted the Alps for their beauty alone. Ruskin and Turner travelled the chain of the Alps through Switzerland, France and Italy, whilst native artists were able to enjoy and paint the majestic scenery close at hand.

J.L. Aberli, F. Diday, A. Calame, S. Birmann, G. Loppe, A. Gos, to name a few.

Paintings by artists of such reknown were costly and beyond the reach of most. Book illustration, especially in colour chromolithography, became the medium to display such splendour, although demanding a high price, such works could be enjoyed by more than just the owner.
