This painting captures the distinctive charm of the southern Tuscan landscape bathed in soft light. The viewer’s gaze travels across fields and gentle hills, glowing in warm earthy tones, toward a small settlement near Prata. Subtle shades of green and ochre unfold into a tranquil, timeless atmosphere. It combines mediterranean color harmony with his characteristic, dynamic brushwork. Painted with oil on cardboard by the German landscape painter Alexander Michael in 1995. Signed lower left 'AM 95'.

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.
