"Alpenflora" is a romantic oil painting by Austrian artist Hans Zatzka. The painting depicts a young woman, possibly a nymph, adorned in a white gown and a floral crown, delicately gathering flowers amidst a rocky, alpine landscape. Zatzka's signature style, often characterized by detailed brushwork and soft, harmonious color palettes, is evident in the painting. The work captures the beauty and tranquility of nature, echoing the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime.
