Alpine Scene 1800 - 1850

"Alpine Scene" is a lithograph created by Henri Boug d'Orschwiller between 1800 and 1850. The artwork, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts a quaint wooden cottage nestled amongst the majestic Alps. The snow-capped mountain peaks and the rustic charm of the building create a serene and picturesque landscape, typical of the 19th-century Romantic era. D'Orschwiller's meticulous attention to detail, evident in the intricate textures of the wood and the foliage, contributes to the realistic and idyllic nature of the scene. The lithograph is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world.
