An Autumn Day in Vals

Fritz painted this picture of the village of Vals from an elevated perspective. The yellow of the larch tree and the withered grasses, as well as the deep red of the rose hips in the foreground, indicate that it is autumn. The shaded areas in the background, with their broad color palette, give the picture an expressive character. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the strong and contrasting colors, give the painting a distinctly lively and dynamic quality.
