Vue hivernale de Bernau
1922
Emil Rudolf Weiss captured this serene winter scene in Bernau on November 19, 1922, as signed in the bottom corner. The sketch features two towering evergreen trees standing stark against rolling, snow-dusted hills, while bare, spindly trees on the left seem to shiver in the cold. Though Weiss is often celebrated for his elegant Art Nouveau book illustrations and typefaces, this piece feels like a quiet, personal study of the German countryside. He uses soft, sweeping shading to evoke the muffled silence of a snowy day, creating a beautiful contrast between the dark, heavy firs and the pale, open landscape.
