The artwork titled “My last view of Italy, looking from the Alps over Suza” was created by John Glover in 1835. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is classified under the landscape genre.
In the artwork, Glover masterfully captures an expansive view of the Italian landscape as seen from the majestic Alps. The lush, verdant foliage of the trees in the foreground contrasts beautifully with the muted hues of the distant mountains, lending the scene an air of tranquility and grandeur. The serene environment is further enriched with small figures and grazing animals, adding a touch of human presence without detracting from the overwhelming beauty of the natural surroundings. The play of light and shadow, a hallmark of Romanticism, gives depth and texture to the composition, creating a sense of awe and peacefulness.
