Das Haus auf der Höhe
1904
Perched atop a rolling green hill, this rustic farmhouse with its massive thatched roof looks like it's been quietly watching the countryside for centuries. A humble dirt track and a rickety wooden fence guide your eye right up to the front door, while a winding river and dense forest stretch out into the hazy distance. Painted in 1904 by Ferdinand Brunner, the scene might look like a classic Impressionist landscape at first glance, but look closer—the entire image is built from thousands of tiny, meticulous dots of color, giving the grass and sky a vibrating, almost shimmering texture.
