This expressive Bavarian pre-alpine landscape shows a gently rolling countryside with vivid green meadows and fenced pastures. At the center, a charming white farmhouse with a red roof nestles among the hills and trees. The composition is crowned by a dramatic backdrop of snow-covered Alpine peaks, contrasting with the verdant foreground. The cloudy sky adds depth and atmosphere, reflecting the changeable weather of the region. Oil on canvas. Signed lower right 'AM 74'. Framed in a simple, natural wood frame that complements the rustic charm 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.
