About the Item
Molded frame in plaster and gilded wood
Oil dimensions : 38x59 cm With Frame :58 x 78.5 x 5.5 cm
This oil on canvas by Eugène Castan depicts a mountain landscape at Arolla, in the Val d'Anniviers, in the Swiss canton of Valais. The work is distinguished by its realism and mastery of natural light.
In the foreground, an impetuous torrent cuts through the landscape, its white, foaming water gushing between massive rocks. A small, rustic wooden bridge, with a picturesque charm, crosses the river. Two figures, tiny against the immensity of the setting, stand on the rocks: one standing, the other seated. They seem to be contemplating the landscape or resting, adding a human, contemplative dimension to the scene.
The background reveals grassy slopes dotted with towering boulders. In the distance, snow-capped mountain peaks rise majestically beneath a slightly hazy sky. Soft, diffused light bathes the scene, highlighting the textures of the rocks and lush vegetation.
The painting perfectly captures the wild, imposing beauty of the Alpine landscape, offering a romantic yet realistic vision of Swiss nature. Castan, true to his style, sublimates the grandeur of the mountains while underlining the fragility of the human presence in the face of these giants of stone.
