Mountains And Painters

I just pulled this interesting anthology off my shelf; published in 1966, I opened it to one of the final essays, written in 1928 by Katherine Chorley. It's been ages since I have dipped into this collection of climbing literature.

An engaging article, whose thesis is that JMW Turner came the nearest to depicting on canvas what it actually feels like to be among mountain landscape. Of course, after that article I re-read an all-time classic by Tom Patey, about the first ascent of Zero Gully on Ben Nevis.
