COMPTON, EDWARD THEODORE
1849 Stroke, Newington, England - 1921 Feldabing, Bavaria, German Empire
The Three Peaks in the Sesto Alps
Opaque colors on cardboard, 640 x 820 mm !!
Signed lower right and dated 1906

An outstanding work in the painter’s oeuvre.

Compton lived in Munich from 1869 onwards and was an accomplished mountaineer who knew and studied the mountains and was a member of various alpine clubs. His mountain motifs are characterized by great realism, yet are also of the utmost painterly delicacy and power.
In the immediate vicinity of these peaks, this year’s Winter Olympics for Sky will begin on February 6, 2026, in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
