Mount Chocorua

This image shows Mount Chocorua in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. William James Stillman was a friend of the English art critic John Ruskin and an enthusiastic follower of Ruskin’s belief that “All great art is the expression of man's delight in God's work, not his own.” In this piece, Stillman painted every element in careful detail to show its perfection, from the mossy rocks in the foreground to the patches of snow on the mountain peak.
