Ansicht des Dachsteins mit dem Hallstättersee von der Hütteneckalpe bei Ischl 1838

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller's "Ansicht des Dachsteins mit dem Hallstättersee von der Hütteneckalpe bei Ischl" (1838) is a picturesque landscape painting that captures the serene beauty of the Austrian Alps. The painting showcases a panoramic view of the Hallstättersee lake and the majestic Dachstein mountain range in the background. A small group of figures, likely local villagers, are depicted in the foreground, adding a sense of human scale to the expansive scene. The detailed brushwork and harmonious composition create a sense of tranquility and evoke the spirit of Romantic landscape painting. The work reflects Waldmüller's artistic approach of combining meticulous observation with a romantic sensibility.
