"Entrance to the Valley of Grande Chartreuse in Dauphiné 1783" is a watercolor painting by the British artist John Robert Cozens, known for his pioneering work in landscape painting that emphasized mood and atmosphere. Created in 1783, this artwork captures the dramatic and sublime entrance to the valley leading to the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the Dauphiné region of southeastern France. Cozens, who traveled through Italy and the Alps, was profoundly influenced by the grandeur of the natural landscapes he encountered, which is evident in this piece.

The painting is characterized by its ethereal quality and the use of light and shade to convey the vastness and the solemn beauty of the mountainous terrain. Cozens's technique involved subtle gradations of color and a focus on the interplay between the sky and the earth, which was innovative for his time and would later influence the Romantic artists. "Entrance to the Valley of Grande Chartreuse in Dauphiné 1783" is considered one of Cozens's masterpieces and is often cited as a key example of his artistic vision, where the landscape is imbued with emotional resonance and a sense of the sublime.

The work is part of a series of drawings and paintings that Cozens produced following his travels in the Alps, which were instrumental in shaping the direction of British landscape painting at the turn of the 19th century. His depictions of the Alps, and particularly the Grande Chartreuse, were among the earliest to bring the dramatic scenery of this region to the attention of the British public. The painting not only showcases Cozens's skill as a watercolorist but also reflects the broader cultural interest in the natural world and the exploration of untamed landscapes that was emerging during this period.

"Entrance to the Valley of Grande Chartreuse in Dauphiné 1783" remains a significant work in the history of British art, exemplifying the transition from the classical landscape traditions of the 18th century to the more expressive and emotive landscape representations that would define the Romantic era. The painting is held in high regard for its historical importance and its influence on subsequent generations of artists, including the likes of J.M.W. Turner, who greatly admired Cozens's work.
