In the summer of 1856, during a four-year period of study in Europe, Bierstadt joined several American colleagues on a sketching trip. His fascination with the Swiss terrain resulted in a series of oil studies and pencil sketches, executed during the trip, and several large canvases of the mountain landscape, painted upon his return to New Bedford, Massachusetts. He revisited Switzerland numerous times between 1867 and 1897 to do more sketching. In this dramatic view of the Matterhorn, the artist depicted thecloud-encircled peak in the distance, strikingly juxtaposed with a low, rocky foreground. The vertical thrust of the mountain is reinforced by the towering pines at the lower left.
1856年的夏天，比尔史伯特正在欧洲进行为期四年的学习，他与几个美国同伴一起进行了一次素描旅行。对瑞士的迷恋让他在旅行中完成了一系列的油画和铅笔素描作品，回到马萨诸塞州的新贝德福德后，又完成的一些大型的山景油画。1867至1897年，他多次重返瑞士画了更多的素描。在这幅令人惊叹的马特洪峰景色中，画家描绘了远处被云环绕的山峰，前景是同样引人注目的低矮的岩石。左侧高耸的松树增强了山脉的垂直视觉冲击力。
