“View from my Window at Mornex” is an artwork created by John Ruskin in 1863. The piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork portrays a serene and vast mountainous landscape, enveloped in soft hues of blues and earth tones. In the foreground, rolling hills with scattered trees and structures lead the viewer’s eye towards the distant, imposing mountains, which are majestically capped with snow. The sky is rendered in a gradient of blues, suggesting either the early morning or late evening light, giving the entire scene an ethereal and tranquil quality. This composition exemplifies the Romantic era’s emphasis on nature’s sublime beauty and the inherent emotional experience it evokes.
