Amidst the picturesque landscapes of Europe, the mighty River Arve weaves its way through history and art. From the serene Willow Trees at the Rhone (DDE-90032407) to the tragic Terrible collision between two trains on a bridge over the River Arve near Etrembieres (colour litho), the Arve's tranquil surface belies the drama and beauty it has inspired. Artists have long been captivated by the River Arve, as seen in works such as The Glacier des Bossons, Chamonix, June 1849 (pen and wash in sepia ink) and Bonneville, Savoy, 1803 (oil on canvas). In the words of Victor Hugo, "They resorted to the Bridge of the Arve, and mocked and jeered at the Genevese who had Occasion to pass that Way" (engraving). The source of the Arvaron in the Valley of Chamouni, Savoy (Liber Studiorum, pa) and the confluence of the Arve and Rhone River in Geneva, Switzerland (France, c1930s. Artist: Donald McLeish) are just a few of the many breathtaking scenes that showcase the river's enduring allure. The River Arve, a testament to the power and majesty of nature, continues to inspire awe and wonder in all who encounter it.
