Montagna Mia, about 1923

Annie Swynnerton, 1844-1933

"Montagne Mia means 'My Mountain'.
Natural features in a landscape are often personified by the humans who live near them.
The painting may show a protective mountain 'spirit', but breasts and arms metamorphosing into peaks
create an ambiguous, erotic, perhaps symbolic image". Manchester Art Gallery
