About the artwork

The photo shows a breathtaking, snow-covered winter landscape at sunset and conveys a mixture of quiet grandeur and a warm play of colours. Wide, gently rolling fields are concealed beneath an immaculate blanket of snow, its surface shimmering in delicate shades of pink and gold in the fading light. Occasionally, dark groups of trees and isolated coniferous forests rise up, their snow-laden branches standing out like filigree sculptures and forming deep contrasts to the light-coloured snow. The sun slowly sets on the horizon; its light colours the sky in an impressive spectrum of orange, apricot and flowing purple, which covers the cold landscape, warming and transfiguring it at the same time. Elongated shadows of the trees draw graphic lines in the snow and lend depth and structure to the composition. Sparkling ice crystals in some hollows and depressions reflect the light at certain points, while a fine haze or mist near the ground softens the contours and lends the scene a mystical atmosphere. A narrow path winds its way through the scenery as a silent invitation to enter this peaceful world. The air seems clear and cracklingly cold; the silence is almost palpable, broken only by the distant crackling of frosty branches. Overall, the picture captures the paradisiacal tranquillity of a winter evening - a moment between day and night, at once melancholy and comforting, inviting us to linger and marvel.
