About the Item

The painting bears the signature “F. Weitz” and is dated either 1935 or 1937, the last digit being slightly obscured by impasto. Based on the technique, materials, and style, the work can be confidently attributed to the mid-1930s Alpine School tradition. This evocative oil painting, captures a serene Alpine chapel set against the majestic backdrop of mountain peaks and evergreen trees. The composition is emblematic of the Alpine School — a tradition encompassing artists from Switzerland, Austria, Bavaria, and Tyrol, who celebrated the natural beauty and spiritual atmosphere of the Alpine region. Painted in rich oil on canvas with confident impasto strokes, the work displays a masterful use of the palette knife, lending the surface a textured, tactile quality. The chapel, modest yet iconic, sits nestled among rocks and fir trees, with a vibrant bouquet of red and orange flowers in its arched window. The color palette is earthy and harmonious, with soft sky tones and strong architectural contrasts — hallmarks of early 20th-century alpine landscape painting. The artist’s signature F. Weitz and the year appear in the lower left corner. Though little is known about the painter, the quality of the technique suggests a skilled hand, likely trained within a regional academic or plein air tradition. The painting is presented in its original vintage frame, a softly textured and subtly patinated wood profile that complements the composition. While the frame shows minor signs of wear consistent with age, it enhances the authenticity and period charm of the work. Canvas size: approx. 60 x 40 cm Framed dimensions: approx. 76 x 58x5 cm This piece would make a fine addition to any collection of European alpine art, vintage landscape paintings, or historical decorative interiors. Shipping is professionally handled and worldwide delivery is available.
