The Great St Bernard Inn, In The Alps 

Oswald Achenbach's "The Great St Bernard Inn, In The Alps," a 19th century landscape painting, depicts a snowy mountain scene with a small group of travelers and their pack animals making their way towards an inn situated in the valley. The dramatic composition emphasizes the vastness of the natural world, with dark, looming clouds above and a sliver of blue sky peeking through. The painting showcases Achenbach's expertise in depicting atmospheric effects, creating a sense of both awe and a touch of mystery, typical of his Romantic style. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the snowy landscape, the texture of the rocks, and the subtle light of the moon.
