Obernhof an der Lahn 1876

"Obernhof an der Lahn" is a watercolor painting by German artist Peter Becker, executed in 1876. The painting depicts a picturesque landscape with a view of the town of Obernhof, nestled along the banks of the Lahn river. The scene is dominated by a group of large, leafy trees, their branches reaching towards the sky. In the background, the town and the river wind through a valley, with rolling hills rising in the distance. The scene is bathed in a soft, gentle light, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. This painting is a prime example of the romanticism style, which emphasized nature's beauty and grandeur. It is housed in the Städel Museum.
