Alpine Pass in Winter with Monks" is a significant artwork by the renowned German Romantic landscape painter Karl Blechen (1798–1840). Created around 1830, the painting depicts a group of monks journeying through an alpine pass during winter. The piece is a quintessential example of Blechen's style, notable for its dramatic portrayal of nature, a hallmark of the Romantic era.

The painting captures the sublime beauty and fearful vastness of the alpine landscape, demonstrating Blechen's ability to portray the awe-inspiring power of nature. The sublime terror evoked by the work is heightened by the precariousness of the monks' journey, as they navigate through the treacherous snowy terrain, providing a palpable sense of danger and vulnerability.

Blechen's exploration of the sublime in his depiction of the landscape emphasizes the Romantic perspective of nature's dominance over man. His striking use of color, light, and shadow enhances the harsh and brutal aspect of the alpine winter, while lending a contemplative mood to the painting.

While not the most prominent work in Blechen's oeuvre, "Alpine Pass in Winter with Monks" nonetheless provides valuable insights into the artist's development in landscape painting, and his adoption of and contribution to the aesthetics of the Romantic movement in German art. It continues to be appreciated for its evocative power and its enduring mastery of composition and atmospheric representation.
