Der Kirchturm von Cortina d'Ampezzo 1892

"Der Kirchturm von Cortina d'Ampezzo" (1892), a delicate pencil drawing by Louis Eysen, showcases a village nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps. The prominent steeple of the church dominates the scene, its structure softened by Eysen's signature hazy background, creating a sense of atmosphere and depth. The piece exemplifies the artist's fascination with the natural world, captured here with sensitive detail and a subtle touch of romanticism. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, invites viewers to appreciate the beauty of a simple, serene landscape.
