ABOUT THIS PIECE Alexandre Calame's Swiss Landscape was created in 1830 and the painting is in National Gallery of Art Washington D.C. The original size of the work is 40 x 52 cm and is made of oil on paper. In Swiss Landscape, Calame plays against the very conventions upon which he based his career. In lieu of dramatic vistas of the Alps with snowcapped peaks, he presents a quieter view of the Swiss landscape: idyllic and picturesque rather than sublime, inhabited and tamed by people rather than denying their very presence. The overall effect is inviting and soothing rather than forbidding and awe inspiring. Among the fields, in varying degrees of cultivation, is a group of harvesters and a cart laden with freshly mown hay behind them. There is a strongly geometric quality to the landscape, neat and orderly with a patchwork of greens and golds like a handmade quilt. This geometry is echoed in the mountains and lake that have been simplified, abstracted down into shapes formed of color. In this painting, Calame does not celebrate the power of nature, but rather its quiet, subtle beauty bathed in a gentle radiance. The Artist: Alexandre Calame (1810 - 1864) was a Swiss landscape painter, associated with the Düsseldorf School. He showed that he was capable of understanding Italian nature; but the Alps remained his speciality.
