Landschaft am Starnberger See
1890
Signed and dated October 1890, this delicate watercolor by Edward Theodore Compton captures a serene autumn afternoon by Lake Starnberg. Tiny figures relax beneath the dappled shade of a large tree, seemingly dwarfed by the vast, shimmering water and the distant, hazy mountain range. The soft washes of color and gentle light perfectly evoke the quiet, pastoral beauty of the Bavarian landscape. Compton, an English-born artist who became famous for his dramatic Alpine scenes, here shows his softer, more intimate side in this peaceful lakeside retreat.
