Wolves really do travel high ground, and there is nothing romantic in the reason. Ridgelines, frozen rivers, game trails and, unhelpfully for them, human roads all offer the same thing: firm footing and no obstacles.
A wolf covers serious distance daily, and a pack patrolling a territory that can run to hundreds of square kilometres cannot afford to waste effort pushing through undergrowth. They take the efficient line, every time.
The animal standing on a skyline is doing route selection, not contemplating anything. Which is arguably better.
A figure on a horizon is the strongest arrangement in landscape work. Everything below leads up to it and there is nothing above to compete.
It also means the piece keeps working at a distance, when detail has stopped registering and only the shape remains.
Landscapes want width. Our article on the gray wolf covers the ranging. See the painting size chart and the wolf painting collection.
