View of Oberalp Lake 1767 - 1824

Franz Xaver Triner's "View of Oberalp Lake" (1767-1824) is a watercolor depicting a serene alpine lake surrounded by towering mountains and a small stone hut. The artist captured the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps with a keen eye for detail. The use of muted tones and precise brushstrokes creates a sense of tranquility and grandeur. The work is a testament to Triner's ability to capture the essence of landscape painting during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
