An atmospheric winter painting by artist Alexander Michael, created in 1980. The snow-covered city of Bergen unfolds in cool, muted tones, with a centrally placed church standing out as the quiet focal point of the scene. Surrounded by snow-laden houses and gentle hills, it lends the composition a calm, almost meditative mood. The piece features delicate brushwork and a clear structure—an excellent example of late modern landscape painting with a Nordic touch. Perfect for collectors and lovers of authentic vintage art. The artwork is painted with oil on board. Painted by the German artist Alexander Michael in 1980, it bears his signature on the lower left side and on the back.

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.
