Alpine Landscape – Georg Grauvogl Artwork dimensions: cm 110 x 78 without frame – cm 114 x 82 with antique fir frame Technique: oil on canvas Period: circa 1940 Artist: Georg Grauvogl (1896 – 1986) – signed on the back A mountain landscape, characterized by a large, white and luminous cloud, that immediately draws attention. Its shape is imposing and almost three-dimensional, with brushstrokes that suggest volume and movement. The cloud seems to stand out against a grayish-blue sky, creating a strong contrast. Just below are the mountains, painted in shades of green, brown, and gray, and among them a wide valley with a stream winding through it. The valley is painted in lighter shades, and small buildings, a bell tower, can be seen in the distance. The sense of depth and distance is very well rendered. In this painting, the light comes from above and projects shadows and plays of light and dark on all the elements, creating three-dimensionality. The painting conveys a feeling of majesty and tranquility. The large white cloud, silhouetted against the sky, creates a focal point that catches the eye and invites contemplation. The mountain landscape, with its solid shapes and earthy colors, contributes to creating a sense of balance and harmony.
