Lucerne c. 1900 - 1915

"Lucerne" is a watercolor painting created by James Montgomery Flagg around the turn of the 20th century. The painting depicts a bustling scene in Lucerne, Switzerland, with figures strolling under the shade of trees, a glimpse of a lake in the background, and a prominent building, possibly the Jesuit Church. Flagg, known for his iconic illustrations, used his signature style to capture the charming atmosphere of this European city. The watercolor's delicate strokes and muted palette create a sense of tranquility and evoke a sense of leisure.
