Landscape near Strasbourg Looking toward St. Gall 1879

W. van Detta's 1879 watercolor, "Landscape near Strasbourg Looking toward St. Gall," captures the serenity of a tranquil countryside scene. The artist masterfully depicts a serene lake reflecting the soft, pale hues of the twilight sky. The distant hills and trees, rendered in soft, atmospheric brushstrokes, add depth and tranquility to the composition. This delicate and intimate artwork exemplifies the artist's talent for capturing the beauty of nature in a romantic and impressionistic style.
