This watercolor painting, "Landscape near Mahón" by Karl Peter Burnitz, depicts a serene seascape with rocky shores and a distant town. The artist, born in 1824, is known for his romantic landscapes, capturing the beauty of nature with a soft and delicate touch. The use of light and color creates a sense of tranquility and invites the viewer to contemplate the vastness of the scene. The painting is currently housed in the Städel Museum. This artwork is a prime example of the *Romantic* art movement that flourished in the early 19th century.
