Alexandre Calame painted Chalets at Rigi in 1861, working in oil on canvas. The title points us to mountain dwellings at Rigi, a subject that suits a Swiss landscape painter. Calame was born in Switzerland and is associated with the Düsseldorf School, a group known for carefully observed landscape painting. The work later passed through several notable collections, including the Führermuseum, the Munich Central Collecting Point and the Mauerbach collection, and it is now linked with the National Gallery.
On your wall: Its alpine subject suits a study, living room or hallway, particularly in homes that favour traditional landscapes or a calm connection to the mountains.
