Oil painting by Alexander Michael of Bergen in winter 1980.

An atmospheric winter painting by the artist Alexander Michael, created in 1980. The snow-covered city of Bergen unfolds in cool, muted tones, with a church placed at the centre that stands out as a silent focal point of the scene. Surrounded by snow-laden houses and gentle hills, it imparts a calm, almost meditative ambiance to the composition. The work features delicate brushwork and a clear structure—an excellent example of late modern landscape painting with a Nordic touch. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of authentic vintage art. The piece is oil on panel. Painted by the German artist Alexander Michael in 1980, it bears his signature at the bottom left and on the back. 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.
