The large pine in Gastein 1900

"The large pine in Gastein", painted in 1900 by Austrian artist Rudolf von Alt, is a watercolor painting depicting a towering pine tree against the backdrop of a mountainous landscape. The detailed brushstrokes capture the texture of the bark and the lush foliage surrounding the tree, with a soft haze obscuring the distant hills. This artwork is a testament to Alt's mastery of landscape painting and his ability to convey the tranquility and beauty of nature. The painting, now housed in the Albertina in Vienna, is an example of Alt's signature style, characterized by meticulous detail and atmospheric effects.
