The peaks are exaggerated and stylized, emphasizing their grandeur and the mystical aura surrounding them. The foreground features dramatic shadows and contours, which convey the majestic and imposing nature of the mountains. Towards the center of the composition, the mountains open up to reveal snow-capped peaks in the distance, bathed in soft light under a clear, azure sky. This visual fusion of vivid colors and striking forms captures the ethereal beauty and sublime essence of the natural world, quintessential to the Symbolist movement.
