We are looking at a passage of nature as seen on the north shore of Lake Altaussee. From this ideal “viewing spot,” Friedrich Gauermann guides the viewer’s gaze directly to the water’s surface and the gently sloping meadows. In the background, thick clouds drift across the snowfields of the Dachstein mountain. There are few paintings by this artist in which he adheres so absolutely to nature, dispensing with all compositional arrangement or genre scenes. Gauermann is considered one of the most important painters of rural life, yet it is always nature that takes center stage with people and animals organically blending with their natural setting.
