Schloß am See 1909

"Schloß am See" (Castle by the Lake) is a landscape painting by German artist Leo Putz, created in 1909. The painting depicts a tranquil scene with a lake in the foreground, a white building with a red roof in the middle ground, and a forested hillside in the background. Putz's signature style of painting in blocks of bold color is on full display here, with flat planes of greens, blues, and yellows used to represent the various elements of the scene. This work demonstrates the artist's ability to capture the serenity of nature through a stylized approach to landscape painting.
