John Singer Sargent's "View from Mount Pilatus" is a watercolor painting from 1870 that depicts a breathtaking mountainous landscape at sunset. The artist utilizes a soft, layered approach with washes of cool blues and warm yellows to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. Sargent's masterful use of light and shadow in this landscape painting creates a stunning vista of the Swiss Alps.
