Schindler named his style “Poetic Realism.” He championed painting in the open countryside, depicting weather and light conditions, a new simplicity in subject matter, and the unique atmosphere of the everyday. Brilliant sunlight illuminates this tranquil stretch of the Danube riverbank. State of the art at the time, the steamship dazzles in resplendent white, the cloud of soot and its dissipation masterfully rendered. Dabs of paint for walkers and the cropped composition capture the randomness of the moment. It is a peaceful coexistence of nature and technology, disclosing nothing of Schindler’s vehement criticism of the Danube’s regulation, which had just begun at the time.
