The painting 'Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland', dated 1977, by Alexander Michael, captures the iconic silhouette of the Highland fortress mirrored serenely in the still waters of Loch Duich. Towering snow-capped mountains rise in the background, imbuing the scene with depth and grandeur. The castle, centrally positioned, radiates timeless strength, while the clear, cool palette and gentle brushwork convey a sense of stillness and reflection. Executed in oil on canvas. The signature 'AM 77' is located in the lower left corner. A simple light wood frame complements the clarity and calm atmosphere of the scene.

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.
