Image description

This is one of two watercolours that Turner made from material collected in 1802 while staying in Courmayeur, a remote border outpost at the head of the Val d’Aosta. To enhance the grandeur of the scenery in this view, he radically simplified his busy pencil sketches, smoothing the contours of the mountains and exaggerating their height. Shaded trees and slopes silhouette the light-filled gulley, out of which rises the snow-covered Mont Blanc, its hazy summit creating a feeling of infinite distance.
