"The Little Church in Hinterriß" is a Romantic landscape painting by German artist Heinrich Bürkel. The painting, now housed in the Museum der Bildenden Kunste in Leipzig, Germany, depicts a small church nestled amidst towering mountains and a winding path. Bürkel's work emphasizes the beauty and grandeur of nature, as well as the insignificance of man in the face of it, a common theme in the Romantic art movement.
