About this artwork

Painted in 1849 by the Swiss landscape artist Alexandre Calame, this oil on canvas shows Lake Lucerne. The title points us to the water's edge, and the work belongs to the tradition of landscape painting that Calame pursued throughout his career. Calame is associated with the Düsseldorf School, and that connection gives a helpful sense of the kind of landscape painting he practised. Today the painting is held in the Kunstmuseum Basel.

On your wall: A lake landscape like this suits a living room, study or hallway, particularly where you want a calm view of the Swiss outdoors.
