This atmospheric painting portrays a sun-dappled forest path, winding through a dense woodland. Dappled sunlight filters through a vibrant green canopy, casting golden and ochre highlights on the forest floor. The trunks, painted in expressive strokes of brown and green, create a rhythmic vertical pattern. Light and shadow alternate dynamically, inviting the viewer into the tranquil yet lively scene. Oil on canvas. Signed 'AM 72' on the lower left. Executed in Michael’s signature vibrant brushwork of the early 1970s, this work captures nature with emotional intensity. Housed in a classic gold frame that enhances the painting’s glowing warmth.

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.
