Exhibited in 1837, "Valley of Aosta: Snowstorm, Avalanche, and Thunderstorm" is a late, dramatic example of J.M.W. Turner's fascination with the sublime violence of nature in the Alps. Turner had toured the Aosta Valley in Italy's northwest, and here combines several extreme weather events into a single overwhelming vision, dissolving the mountain landscape into swirling light, snow, and cloud. The painting exemplifies Turner's late style, in which recognizable topography gives way increasingly to pure atmospheric sensation.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

Everyone who walks in asks about it. The brushwork in Valley of Aosta Snowstorm shows exactly why Turner has the reputation. The colors are richer and warmer than a screen can show. Perfect from start to finish.
Four stars because it is excellent and I paid a little more than I wanted to. It looks more expensive than what I paid for it. It has not shifted or sagged in six weeks.
Four stars because it is excellent and I paid a little more than I wanted to. There is more going on in Valley of Aosta Snowstorm than I noticed on the website. It works well in a split-level that has been hard to decorate. Nearly perfect, and I am not complaining.
