Mountain landscape by Jean Koenig

Magnificent and large oil on canvas from the Alpine school of the 20th century, depicting a majestic high mountain landscape. The scene is animated by a traditional alpine chalet nestled at the foot of rocky peaks and by a flowering tree in the foreground, adding a lovely spring touch. The work is signed very legibly in the bottom right by the listed artist Jean König, accompanied by the handwritten mention of the location "Malbun." The painting technique is remarkable: the brushwork is generous, textured, and post-impressionist, offering superb work on the slanting light and the reliefs of the rocky walls. The shades of green, ochre, and blue create an atmosphere that is both serene and powerful. This large format is ideal for dressing a living room, an office, or an entrance, and fits perfectly into a vintage, bohemian chic, or character chalet decor. Condition: The canvas is sound, original, and very well stretched on its frame. The original classic gilded wooden frame shows a very slight patina of time that enhances its authentic charm.
