Cliffs in a Storm 1838

This 1838 etching by Swiss artist Alexandre Calame, titled "Cliffs in a Storm," captures the dramatic power of nature. The dark, stormy sky contrasts with the rugged, towering cliffs, showcasing Calame's mastery of light and shadow. The diminutive figures at the base of the cliffs emphasize the vastness of the landscape and the force of the storm. This print exemplifies Calame's interest in depicting the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Alps, a subject he explored extensively throughout his career.
