Description

Watercolour heightened with bodycolour
33.8 x 51.8 cm, 13 ' x 20 ' in.

Jackson painted this view of Mont Blanc from the top of the Chamonix valley above Argenti're. The Aiguilles de Chamonix, or Needles of Chamonix can be clearly seen to the left of Mont Blanc. Jackson visited Switzerland twice, in 1854 and 1858, when Chamonix was still a small village. Although the first luxury hotel was built in 1816, it only gained proper road access in 1866 under the reign of Napoleon III, when the first horse-drawn coaches alighted in the village square.
