Location Upper Belvedere
A tranquil dark lake, rocky shore, trees, and cirrus clouds against a blue summer sky define this large “landscape of the soul” by Karl Mediz. The seemingly naturalistic view depicts a small lake known as the Dead Sea on the island of Lokrum off the coast of Dubrovnik. Close-up we can detect almost impressionistic brushstrokes and dabs of paint evoking a shimmering overall effect. From a greater distance, however, it becomes apparent that the painter composed the image out of clearly delineated planes. These forms create the foundations of the pictorial composition.
