Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveller is an 1820 oil painting by the British artist Edwin Landseer. It depicts a view in the Alps with Saint Bernard dogs coming to the assistance of a stranger, travelling through the pass who is buried in snow through the effects of an avalanche.[1]
It was produced very early in his career at a time when the eighteen-year-old Landseer had never visited the Swiss setting of the scene. It was displayed at the 1820 exhibition of the British Institution, where it was widely praised.[2] Today it is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington.[3]
