“This landscape with the surrounding alps did, indeed, present a perfect picture of the lovely and the sublime, of ‘beauty sleeping in the lap of horror.’
So yes, it is Gothic, in the opposition of the sublime with the picturesque. Again, keeping in mind that we are seeking a more encompassing definition of the Gothic.
