Grimselpass
30x40 cm, 2018
Oil on canvas (Framed as pictured)
This 2018 oil painting by Constantin Roucault captures the rugged beauty of the Grimsel Pass, a high-altitude mountain pass in the Swiss Alps. Painted in a style that blends contemporary landscape with subtle textural realism, the work conveys the natural layering of rock, grass, and alpine terrain through rich, earthy tones and detailed brushwork.
The composition draws the viewer’s eye along a winding valley flanked by rocky slopes, leading toward a serene turquoise lake and distant peaks under a pale blue sky. The textured foreground and luminous palette evoke the raw, elemental character of this iconic Swiss landscape.
