"A View of Monte Viso and the Source of the River Po" is a 19th-century painting by the English artist William Brockedon. The artwork captures the majestic scenery of Monte Viso, one of the highest mountains in the Cottian Alps, located in the Piedmont region of Italy, along with the source of the River Po, Italy's longest river. Brockedon, who was born in Totnes, Devon in 1787 and died in 1854, was known not only for his artistic endeavors but also for his work as an inventor and writer.

The painting is significant for its depiction of the sublime alpine landscape, a subject that fascinated many artists and travelers during the Romantic period. Brockedon's representation of Monte Viso is characterized by its attention to detail and the grandeur of the natural world, reflecting the Romantic era's emphasis on the power and beauty of untouched landscapes. The inclusion of the River Po's source adds a sense of narrative and geographical context to the work, as the river is an important natural feature in Italy, flowing eastward for over 650 kilometers to the Adriatic Sea.

Brockedon's travels through the Alps provided him with the inspiration and subject matter for many of his works. His artistic style often combined the precision of topographical observation with the dramatic light and atmospheric effects associated with Romantic landscape painting. "A View of Monte Viso and the Source of the River Po" exemplifies Brockedon's skill in conveying the awe-inspiring aspects of the natural environment while also offering viewers a glimpse into the geographical wonders of the Italian landscape.

The painting is part of Brockedon's broader body of work that includes landscapes, portraits, and illustrations for literary works. His contributions to the arts were recognized during his lifetime, and he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1830 and the Royal Academy in 1836. Today, "A View of Monte Viso and the Source of the River Po" is appreciated for its historical and artistic value, providing insight into the 19th-century European art scene and the enduring allure of Italy's natural splendor.
