This painting from 1994 depicts a broad lakeside landscape near Gollenshausen on Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria and is a fine example of Alexander Michael’s expressive and dynamic style. The composition opens onto an expansive view in which sky, water, and shoreline merge through energetic and confident brushwork. Beneath it lies the calm surface of Lake Chiemsee, suggested through horizontal strokes and light color accents. The distant shoreline appears as a subtle, dark silhouette along the horizon. The loose, impasto application of paint and visible brushstrokes give the work a spontaneous, lively character and emphasize the artist’s immediate response to the natural setting. The painting is signed and dated 'AM 94' in the lower left corner.

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.
