Rust on Lake Neusiedl by Friedrich Loos

Imagine a perfect lazy afternoon in 19th-century Austria, and you've got Friedrich Loos's view of Rust. The town's church, with its fancy onion-shaped tower, sits high on a hill watching over Lake Neusiedl in the distance. Down below, it's a pastoral dream: cows are grazing in a little valley and a guy is literally taking a nap against a rock. This is classic Romanticism, where nature is big, dramatic, and humans are just small figures enjoying the view.
