Edward Theodore Compton (1849-1941) was an English-born German artist who specialized in alpine landscapes.



Better known as E.T. Compton, he briefly attended the Royal Academy, but he was mainly self taught.

He was inspired to become mountain painter when, at age 19, he traveled with his family to the Bernese Oberland, where he was impressed with views of the the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.

He was a skilled mountaineer who made over 300 major ascents, with 27 first climbs, and he often brought his watercolors with him to document what he saw.

Note how muted the colors are in this painting—just subtle warm and cool grays—and how he adds mystery by veiling part of the view in a fragment of clouds.
