Description: | Vale studied at both the Wolverhampton and Birmingham Municipal Schools of Art. She exhibited regularly between 1913 and 1938 at venues such as the Royal Academy, Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and Royal Miniature Society. Landscapes, especially mountainous scenes were a particular favourite genre for Vale. Subjects included the Welsh mountains and Italian lakes which may be the setting for this painting. Although she continued to paint landscapes, Vale gradually moved to specialising in miniature work and became an Associate of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers (later RMS) in 1919.
Vale captures the scale and beauty of the snow capped mountains in this oil painting. The tiny buildings of a mountain town can be seen in the foreground dwarfed by the vast mountain range in the near distance and beyond. The sky is blue with bright sunshine bouncing off the white snow. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Mountains Fine arts Black Country Countryside Landscape Oil painting Oil Paintings Art collections | Temporal: | 1944
