Painted in 1978, this vivid landscape captures a summer field under a dramatic sky. Bright yellows and deep greens of the countryside contrast beautifully with the expressive, stormy clouds above. The energetic brushwork conveys movement and depth, giving the impression of a landscape caught between sunshine and an impending summer rain. It is painted with oil on board, set in a wooden frame with a cream-colored, antique patina and signed 'AM 78' on the lower left. Its subtle profile and weathered tone accentuate the artwork's vivid character while providing a gentle transition to the surrounding space.

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.
