Zurich Riviera

The picture shows Zurich’s so called Riviera, a promenade on the banks of the River Limmat in late fall. The trees still have their last autumn leaves, but the first snow is already on the ground. The Fraumünster and St. Peter’s Church can be seen in the background. Fritz painted this work in the 1940s in the style of early Impressionism. It is somewhat reminiscent of older works by Alfred Sisley or Camille Pissarro, two painters whom Fritz greatly admired throughout his life.
