A large magnificent antique landscape painting in a golden wooden frame. The scene shows a tranquil Alpine countryside with towering mountains, a winding river, rustic buildings, evergreen trees and a few farmers going about their daily lives. The painting was crafted on canvas in the second half of the 19th century. The canvas has been relined and the frame shows some restoration.

19th century oil paintings often reflect people´s deep longing for security, beauty and a peaceful world. The natural landscapes show their beauty and majesty with powerful colors. The paintings of that time leave room for romantic feelings and sentimentality. The artist of the time gave people a sense of just be happy and content with yourself and the world.
