This striking study captures the molten glow of a mountain range bathed in the final blaze of sunset. Rich crimsons and scarlets sweep across the peaks, their textures carved and layered like ancient rock, while a molten gold horizon hums with latent heat. The interplay between the fiery slopes and the deep, earthen base suggests both strength and impermanence, as if the scene itself is caught in the act of cooling from a volcanic birth. Surrounded by a crisp white mount and embraced by a burnished gilt frame, the piece radiates warmth and drama – an unflinching reminder of nature’s raw power, as unforgettable under brooding British skies as beneath distant desert suns.
