This expressive oil painting from 1994 captures the idyllic Fraueninsel (Women’s Island) on Lake Chiemsee, showcasing the famous Münster Frauenwoerth surrounded by the lush monastery garden. The foreground bursts with late summer vegetation—sunflowers, tall grasses, and golden perennials, rendered in bold, dynamic brushstrokes. The iconic onion dome of the baroque church rises gently above the dense greenery, acting as a focal point amid the natural chaos. The sky is painted in lively shades of blue with expressive cloud forms, giving the piece a vivid, Impressionistic atmosphere. Oil on chipboard. Signed 'AM 94' in the lower left corner. Framed in a deep red /brown wooden frame that complements the warmth and energy of the painting.

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.
