介绍（中）	亨特作为一位维多利亚时代的风景水彩画家，其非凡的声誉因其对斯诺登山的精湛描绘而得到肯定。我们从西面看到了这座山峰，向北延伸着一道长长的山脊Crib y Ddysgl，风暴云紧贴着南侧，光线从东面穿透。在约翰·罗斯金（John Ruskin）的《现代画家》（Modern Painters）第四卷（副标题为"山美"）（1856年4月）的刺激下，亨特于1856年和1857年研究了威尔士西北部的大气景观。自从他在利物浦学院上学以来，这样的风景就一直吸引着他，该学院的校长威廉·约翰·科尼巴雷牧师既是地质学家，也是圣经学者。理查德·威尔逊等著名的前辈曾画过斯诺登，但亨特对不断变化的天气条件的处理是无与伦比的。在右边，黑色蒸汽的面纱消散，可以瞥见阳光斑驳的云层，前景是突出在金色草皮中的地衣斑点的巨石。在他早期的成熟时期，亨特通常将注意力集中、自然的细节与具有启示性的奇观结合在一起。
介绍（英）	Hunt’s significant reputation as a Victorian landscape watercolorist is affirmed by this masterly depiction of Mount Snowdon. We see the peak from the west, with a long ridge—Crib y Ddysgl—running to the north, storm clouds clinging to the southern flank, and light breaking through from the east. Stimulated by the fourth volume of John Ruskin’s "Modern Painters," subtitled “Of Mountain Beauty” (April 1856), Hunt worked on atmospheric landscapes in northwest Wales in 1856 and 1857. Such scenery had fascinated him since his days at the Liverpool Collegiate School, whose headmaster the Rev. William John Conybeare, was both geologist and Bible scholar. Famous predecessors such as Richard Wilson had painted Snowdon, but Hunt's treatment of changing weather conditions is unsurpassed. Veils of dark vapor dissipate at right to offer a glimpse of sun-dappled clouds, with the vista introduced in the foreground by lichen-flecked boulders that jut through golden turf. In his early maturity, Hunt typically combined sharply focused, natural detail with revelatory spectacle.
