Alfons Walde (1891–1958), an Austrian from Kitzbühel, was the first artist to successfully bring skiing as a subject into painting, as depicted in “The Ascent of the Aufstieg.” He was known for winter landscapes rendered in a unique tempera style; he also worked as an architect. © 2011 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / VBK, Vienna
