This expressive landscape painting from 1969 is the work of German artist Alexander Michael. It presents a vivid panoramic view of a rolling valley and a mountain range, likely inspired by a Central or Southern European setting. The viewer is led through a tree-dotted meadow toward a small town nestled at the base of dramatic blue-green mountains. The sky, rendered in sweeping brushstrokes of gray, blue, and white, dominates the composition and brings movement and atmosphere to the scene. Michael’s signature bold brushwork and confident use of color are on full display. The interplay of vibrant greens, ochres, and soft reds makes the landscape feel both grounded and expressive. The painting is signed 'AM 69' in the lower right corner. It is framed in a black wooden frame, providing a strong contrast to the vivid colors of the painting. Oil on cardboard. An atmospheric piece full of movement and color — perfect for collectors of expressive landscapes.

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.
