Alexander Michael - Oil Painting Chiemsee near Hochstaedt, 1994

In this atmospheric 1994 landscape, Alexander Michael captures the tranquil expanse of the countryside near Hochstädt by Lake Chiemsee. The viewer's gaze moves gently across lush green meadows toward the distant lake, which glimmers softly in shades of blue and silver beneath the open Bavarian sky. Beyond, the faint outlines of the Alps rise, adding depth and serenity to the scene. With his fluid brushwork and finely balanced color harmonies, Michael evokes a sense of calm and summer lightness "” a hallmark of his late landscapes, where close observation of nature blends seamlessly with quiet emotion and poetic reflection. Oil on cardboard. Signed lower left 'AM 94'.

Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
