"Mountain Gloom - the Pass of Glencoe", by A.P. Newton in the Exhibition of the Water-colour Society, 1860. Engraving of a painting. This wild and rugged solitude is seen under the effect of sunset, the last glimmer of which still illumines the gathering clouds above, whilst in the hollow beneath the huge granite sides of the mountain all is wrapt in gloom. Far away to the light the eye travels along the tortuous windings of the pass, which are dotted here and there with patches of water, and around the jagged outline of which the mists of evening are already beginning to assemble. The huge mountain structure is more or less covered with snow, which lies more thickly on the broken table masses in the foreground than elsewhere. The hard, crystallised surface beams through the gloom, partly with latent partly with reflected light. No sign of life is seen throughout this vast mountain panorama, save in the foreground, where a collie is baying over a stray sheep, already half buried in the snow-drift, whilst above soars an eagle ready to pounce upon its prey. This fine picture, apart from its claims in point of picturesque interest, is remarkable as an evidence of the capabilities of water-colour painting for grand and massive effect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

Mountain Gioom - the Pass of Glencoe,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating watercolor painting by Scottish artist A.P. Newton, was first showcased in the Exhibition of the Water-colour Society in 1860. This masterpiece, skillfully captured by engraver M. Jackson, invites viewers to explore the breathtaking yet ominous beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The painting portrays a scene of wild and rugged solitude, where the last remnants of sunset light illuminate the gathering clouds above, casting an ethereal glow on the towering mountain range. The valley below is enshrouded in darkness, with the massive granite sides of the mountain looming over a tortuous pass. Patches of water dot the winding path, and the mists of evening begin to assemble around the jagged mountain outline. Snow covers much of the mountain structure, with the hard, crystallized surface reflecting and beaming through the gloom. The painting is a testament to the capabilities of watercolor painting in achieving grand and massive effect, with intricate details that bring the rugged landscape to life. No signs of life are apparent throughout the vast mountain panorama, save for a collie in the foreground, baying over a stray sheep already half-buried in the snowdrift. Above, an eagle soars, ready to pounce on its prey. This exquisite painting, with its picturesque interest and grandeur, offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty and raw power of nature. The "Illustrated London News" described this painting as a remarkable work of art, highlighting its ability to convey the vastness and majesty of the Scottish Highlands through the medium of watercolor painting. This painting remains a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the artistic vision of its creator.
