This Carinthian landscapist of Slovenian origin is famous for his numerous panoramic views from the summits of the Eastern Alps (Mts. Triglav, Mangart, Grossglockner, Stol). He was active at the time when local studies developed and interest in nature was growing, and magnificent scenes painted from inaccessible points were highly popular − more than a thousand of his oil paintings survived. Pernhart’s landscapes are topographically accurate, but he also painted nature in romantic moods, as can be seen in his sublime presentations of weather phenomena.
