Gebäudegruppe mit rundem Turm 

Philipp Rumpf created "Building Group with Round Tower" using watercolor on paper. Notice the misty atmosphere, almost dreamlike, achieved through Rumpf’s delicate application of color, where earth tones meet soft blues in the sky. The architecture is solid, yet its detail is muted, rendered with a gentle hand that softens the edges of the structures. Compositionally, the round tower draws our eye, standing tall against the sky, while the adjacent building anchors the scene with its more grounded form. The water in the foreground reflects the buildings, creating a mirrored effect that destabilizes our perception of depth and reality, hinting at themes of duplication and representation. Rumpf’s interest in light is evident, with its subtle play across the facades, suggesting how perception shapes our understanding of architectural space. The piece invites us to consider how the formal qualities of watercolor—its fluidity and transparency—can transform a seemingly straightforward architectural study into a poetic reflection on form and space. This work remains a space of ongoing interpretation, where the interplay of light, form, and representation continues to intrigue.
