The Montenvers ; La Mer de Glace

1860

Oil on canvas

This painting represents the Mer de Glace seen from Montenvers. The seracs are represented like waves carried by the wind. In the foreground, he creates charming scenes where several characters move surrounded by a herd of goats. On the left, a man from behind seems absorbed in contemplating the glacier. On the right, a lady, has her clothes lifted by the wind. She is holding a little girl's hand, which is reaching out to a goat. They are watched by a guide, holding his mule by the bridle. The foreground gives a bucolic atmosphere to the painting which collides with the vastness of the glacier in the background.
