/internal/media/dispatcher/91814/fullThe Grossglockner with the Pasterze Glacier1832[Thomas Ender]Thomas EnderOil on canvas In July 1832, Thomas Ender accompanied Archduke Johann on the ascent to the Pasterze—Austria’s largest glacier. It was his task to document the form and appearance of this body of ice. The view is roughly from the viewpoint now known as the Kaiser-Franz-Josephs-Höhe looking toward the Grossglockner, the country’s highest mountain. At the heart of the depiction lies the vast expanse of the glacier with its numerous crevasses. The sole subject of the painting is nature as it has evolved over the millennia, its appearance depicted with almost scientific exactitude. Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4818/rdf
