Bad Tölz, Gaißach, 1978 – Oil painting by Alexander Michael

In this vibrant landscape, Alexander Michael captures the sunny hills and valleys surrounding Bad Tölz and Gaißach in Upper Bavaria. Broad, expressive brushstrokes convey the rhythmic contours of the landscape, while fresh blues and bright greens merge into a luminous panorama of the alpine foothills. Painted in 1978, the work radiates Michael's characteristic blend of vitality and serenity, transforming a familiar Bavarian view into a celebration of colour, light, and movement. Oil on cardboard. Signed at the bottom left 'AM 78'. Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German painter of landscapes, still lifes, and architecture. His paintings can be stylistically attributed to Impressionism or a Post-Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with confidence, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and vibrant colours. The conditions of light, colour tones, and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
