St. Bartholomä (Königssee / Bavaria)

The painting depicts a tranquil autumn landscape by a clear lake, nestled in an imposing mountain backdrop. At the centre stands a small, whitewashed St. Bart's Church with several reddish-brown onion domes, located directly on the shore of the lake. Its simple architecture contrasts gently with the colourful surroundings and lends the scene a calm, almost spiritual atmosphere. The lake in the foreground reflects the church, the bright autumn trees and the surrounding mountains. The water's surface is calm, with only slight ripples, giving the reflections a soft, impressionistic effect. The colour palette of the water ranges from deep blue to turquoise with golden and green reflections. In the background, mighty, rocky mountains rise in cool shades of blue and grey. They form a stark contrast to the warm yellows, oranges and golds of the autumnal trees along the shore. The sky is clear and bright blue, further emphasising the peaceful mood of the painting. Overall, the painting conveys a harmonious connection between nature and architecture. The soft brushstrokes and the play of light and colour create a calm, almost timeless mood that invites you to linger and pause.
