Panoramic View of the Alps, Les Dents du Midi

Courbet was still working on this large landscape, intended for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1879, when he died in December 1877. He painted it in exile in Switzerland, where he had fled after being condemned for his part in the Paris Commune of 1871. The view looks south over Lake Geneva toward the Dents du Midi; some areas are heavily worked with a palette knife, while the lower right remains unfinished.

Printed on 200 gsm museum-quality matte paper from the museum’s high-resolution open-access image, with a white border so nothing of the original is cropped. Available from A4 up to 70 × 100 cm, or as a digital download to print yourself.
