A sovereign, painterly advanced and artistically attractive work from the author's most sought-after period. Lumnitzer masterfully captures the popular motif of the reflection of the water surface in a picturesque landscape with historical architecture. The painting radiates peace and harmony, which are characteristic of the author's work, and represents the fulfilled ideal of life in harmony with nature.

Paul Lumnitzer, a Czech-Austrian painter born in Brno, studied at the Vienna Academy and his style was influenced by Impressionism and the Vienna Secession. He was known for his landscape paintings and portraits, which he often presented at the Vienna Secession exhibitions.

The work comes from the author's most attractive period for collectors and deserves the attention of every collector of quality Czech and Central European painting from the first half of the 20th century. Excellent adjustment.
