Hunters in an Outlook on a Mountain

August Leopold Venus German

Not on view

High in the mountains two hunters converse beneath a canopy of sundrenched leaves, while a third man climbs stairs that have been carved into the rockface. Contrasting with the warm brown tones of this human-altered landscape are the cool blues of the surrounding sky and distant hills, which effectively convey the figures’ altitude and imply, rather than show, the airy expanse around them.
