Von Hanstein achieved this view of the Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps through careful observation of the surrounding nature, following the precepts established by the Impressionist painters in France, for example, rather than by the artist's imagination alone in the studio. Trained by Wilhelm Herbig at the Berlin Academy, von Hanstein produced portraits, miniatures, religious scenes and landscapes. It is in the latter genre that he shows all his art of drawing, as shown in this view which moves by its sense of the sublime, that "delicious terror" defined by Edmund
Burke in 1757, and which was then dominant in 19th-century romantic Germany. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
