Mountain Landscape with a Rocky Outcrop 1795

Martin von Molitor’s *Mountain Landscape with a Rocky Outcrop* is a 1795 etching that depicts a rugged mountain scene. The print features a large, imposing rock formation dominating the center of the composition. Smaller rocks and trees are scattered throughout the foreground and background, creating a sense of depth and scale. The overall effect is one of wildness and untamed natural beauty. This etching is a fine example of the Romantic period’s fascination with the sublime, a concept that celebrates the awe-inspiring power of nature.
