In this lively composition, Alexander Michael captures a tranquil view of the Chiemsee near Mittendorf. The scene opens through a natural frame of lush green trees, guiding the viewer’s eye toward the lake where small white sailboats glide across shimmering blue water. The foliage, painted with quick, vibrant brushstrokes, conveys the freshness of summer light and the rustling movement of leaves in the breeze. Michael’s expressive impasto technique and his subtle modulation of greens and blues create a vivid interplay between shadow and sunlight. The result is a composition that feels both immediate and harmonious — a moment of calm, rendered with the artist’s characteristic energy and sensitivity to nature’s rhythm. Oil on cardboard. Signed lower left 'AM 90'.

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.
