Lipari, Portinenti with Windmill Tower 1925

Max Gubler's 1925 oil painting "Lipari, Portinenti with Windmill Tower" depicts a coastal scene with a prominent windmill tower overlooking the whitewashed buildings of a village. The artist captures the light and atmosphere of the Mediterranean with a loose brushstroke, creating a sense of warmth and serenity. The painting showcases Gubler's signature style, using a simplified color palette and abstract shapes to evoke the essence of the landscape. The work's composition, with the windmill tower dominating the upper right, leads the viewer's eye toward the village and the sea, creating a harmonious balance between the natural and the built environment.
