This expressive cityscape captures the distinctive skyline of Edinburgh, seen from Calton Hill with the Dugald Stewart Monument in the foreground. Alexander Michael conveys the city's essence through bold brushwork and a vibrant color palette, highlighting key landmarks like the Scott Monument, Balmoral Hotel, and Edinburgh Castle in the background. The impasto technique and energetic style evoke a bustling urban atmosphere under a dramatic Scottish sky, creating a compelling balance between city structure and painterly expression. Oil on canvas. Signed 'AM 77' on the lower left. A vivid portrait of Edinburgh — ideal for collectors of cityscapes and expressive modern impressionism.

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.
