John Lavery Print, Japanese Switzerland (Hazel and Alice in the Snow)
Japanese Switzerland by Sir John Lavery
"Japanese Switzerland (Hazel and Alice in the Snow)" is a captivating painting created by Sir John Lavery around 1913, featuring his wife Hazel and her sister Alice set against a stunning winter landscape. The work is a remarkable example of Lavery's skill in portraiture and atmospheric rendering, blending elements of impressionism with his distinctive stylistic approach.
The painting showcases two elegantly dressed women in a snow-covered mountainous landscape, likely inspired by a Swiss winter scene. Lavery's wife Hazel, who was a frequent subject in his works, is depicted with her characteristic grace and beauty. The title's reference to "Japanese" suggests an aesthetic influence from Japanese art, evident in the composition's delicate balance and subtle color palette.
Typical of Lavery's style, the painting demonstrates his mastery of light and texture, capturing the ethereal quality of snow and the soft, luminous tones of winter. The figures are rendered with a sense of movement and elegance, set against a backdrop that speaks to the early 20th-century fascination with alpine landscapes and winter leisure.
This painting exemplifies Lavery's ability to combine portraiture with landscape, creating a work that is both intimate and expansive, personal and universal.
