About the Item
The painting *Mer de Glace* by Percival Pernet (1890–1977) is a striking representation of his modern and refined artistic style. It portrays a captivating view of the glacier of Mont Blanc, interpreted with a distinctive artistic approach.
The composition, enclosed in a unique octagonal frame, highlights the dynamic flow of the glacier winding between rugged rocky cliffs. Dominated by cool tones of blue and gray, the palette is enriched with soft pink and violet hues, evoking the enchanting atmosphere of dawn or dusk.
Pernet’s technique is characterized by bold brushstrokes and fluid lines, vividly capturing the motion and texture of the ice. The towering mountains in the background, though simplified, remain expressive, enhancing the sense of grandeur and tranquility inherent to the alpine landscape.
This painting exemplifies Pernet’s mastery in blending a personal vision of nature with compositions infused with modernity. Spanning an era of significant artistic transitions (1890–1977), Pernet’s work embodies a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation.
