Overview

"""Alexandre Calame Landscape Drawing Templates: L'Etude Du Paysage"" offers a unique opportunity to explore the majestic landscapes of 19th-century Switzerland under the guidance of Alexandre Calame, a master of landscape painting. Alexandre Calame (28 May 1810 - 19 March 1864) was a Swiss landscape painter who studied under landscape painter François Diday. By 1845 Calame was considered to have surpassed his teacher, Diday, in what was their shared speciality, grand Alpine views under stormy skies. ""The glaciers, emerald-green, white foaming mountain water, which split the trees during the storm, and the whipped clouds, the multi-colored rocks, half masked from fog, in the rays of the gleaming sun, are those things, which he knew to be true to nature. We still call them the Handeckfall from Bernese upper country, in Tirol, Lake Lucerne, the forest tower (in the urban museum of Leipzig), the forest stream (Dresdener gallery) etc."" Discover the essence of Calame's artistry, known for its vibrant depiction of Alpine scenes, stormy skies, and tranquil lakes.
