Ansicht eines Industriestädtchens inmitten von Feldern und Wald 1880

Theodor Alt's 1880 watercolor "Ansicht eines Industriestädtchens inmitten von Feldern und Wald" depicts a picturesque industrial town nestled amidst rolling hills, fields, and forest. The artist captures the harmony between nature and industry, with smoke rising from factory chimneys against a backdrop of lush greenery. This scene is representative of the changing landscape of Germany in the 19th century, as industrialization began to transform rural communities. The painting, now housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into the unique visual character of this era.
