The painting 'Haus, Frauenchiemsee' from 1994 presents a tranquil lakeside scene and represents a characteristic work by the artist Alexander Michael. Executed in a lively, textured manner, the painting captures the distinctive atmosphere of the Chiemsee region in Bavaria. At the center of the composition stands a traditional house by the water, surrounded by lush greenery. Expressive, loosely applied brushstrokes define the trees, shoreline vegetation, and shimmering reflections on the lake, while small boats rest quietly in the foreground. The color palette is fresh and balanced, dominated by greens and blues, complemented by warm accents on the house façade and shutters. The work successfully blends figurative representation with a free, impressionist-influenced painterly style. Oil on chipboard. Signed lower left 'AM 94'.

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.
