Eric White Studio

Daybreak Splendor - This is the Matterhorn and it is located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It stands at 14,692 feet, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps. The name "Matterhorn" translates to "peak of the meadows" in German. The mountain's current shape is the result of cirque erosion due to multiple glaciers diverging from the peak, such as the "Matterhorn Glacier" at the base of the north face. The Matterhorn has a pyramidal shape with four faces nearly facing the four compass points; each roughly oriented toward one of the four cardinal points. Three of these (north, east, and west) are on the Swiss side of the border and watershed, while the south face lies on the Italian side..

At the beginning of alpine orogeny, the Matterhorn was only a rounded mountain like a hill. Because its height is above the snowline, its flanks are covered by ice, resulting from the accumulation and compaction of snow. The artist painted this particular mountain peak because out of all of the mountains that make up the Alps, the Matterhorn is probably the best known; along with his intrigue of tall glacier mountains. The desire to pictorialize an idyllic European Alpine forest, shows "beauty in detail" of a mystical scenic value that offers a unique calmness with a visible cohesion between the lofty mountain peak and a vigorous stream of flowing water.
