Description
English: Calame established an international reputation with his dramatic views of Alpine scenery. Here, the snow-capped peak of the Jungfrau Mountain towers over the Lauterbrunnen Valley. He wrote of the site of this painting: a lost corner which I know is really wonderful . . . as if God has delighted in assembling in one corner of the earth the greatest marvels of creation.
