/internal/media/dispatcher/91815/fullForest Chapel1835[Joseph Martin Höger]Joseph Martin HögerOil on canvasJoseph Martin Höger presents us with a picture of a rural idyll in glittering sunshine. A group of pilgrims has gathered to pray in front of a small, richly adorned forest chapel. The faithful kneel before this place of worship surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of the Berchtesgadener Land mountains. The stylized forms of the leaves are still reminiscent of Baroque forerunners. In the representation of space—how Höger has integrated the glade in the surrounding landscape—we can appreciate the artist’s observing eye as he looked to nature as his model.
