Description
Magpie at Lake Thun, oil on canvas
100 x 73 cm
Creation year
1968
The picture offers a view across Lake Thun to the Stockhorn in the Bernese Alps. The sparse, autumnal mountain forest in the foreground and the settlements and houses on the other side of the lake are only hinted at, and even the magpie flying past is only schematically depicted. The focal depth of the picture lies entirely on the Alpine peaks in the background. The bright colors of the picture convey a very calm yet cheerful atmosphere.
