This painting by Alexander Michael, titled 'Kirchberg in Tirol' and dated 1978, presents a picturesque village scene in the Austrian Alps. The composition is centered around the church tower, surrounded by homes and gentle rolling hills. Bare trees and a winding country path suggest early spring or autumn. Executed in expressive brushwork and rich earthy tones, the scene conveys calm and rustic charm. Painted in oil on canvas. The artist’s signature 'AM 78' appears in the lower left corner. A light brown wooden frame with modest detailing complements the painting and reinforces its warm, natural character.

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.
