The painting 'Boathouse on the Western Shore of Lake Chiemsee' from 1994 depicts a tranquil rural scene along the lakeside and is a characteristic example of Alexander Michael’s landscape work. At the center of the composition stands a simple boathouse, surrounded by tall trees and lush vegetation. The color palette is dominated by fresh greens, blues, and warm yellow tones, applied with short, energetic brushstrokes. Sky, trees, and meadow appear animated and filled with light, creating a serene yet vibrant summer atmosphere. The work combines clear figurative elements with a free, impressionist-influenced painterly approach. The painting is signed and dated 'AM 94' in the lower left corner.

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.
