The Watzmann seen from the northeast

An astonishing work by the artist August Heinrich, created during the final years of his life and executed in the Romantic style. At the center of the composition are the majestic Bavarian Alps, surrounded by snow-covered hills. His works often reflected the artist’s emotional state. In this piece, we can sense calm, a yearning for silence, and a certain solitude.

Pastel tones, a detailed yet simultaneously sparse landscape that leaves room for imagination. The artist uses minimal color resources to achieve maximum effect. A truly masterful work.

Fun fact: on the reverse side of the piece, there is a sketch of the Church of St. Bartholomew on Lake Königssee, which indicates the artist’s travels in the region and his fascination with the surrounding landscapes.
