The work “Landscape with the Canal near Lehde” convinces not only with its precise painting style but also with its pleasant atmosphere. Lehde is a charming village in the Spreewald south of Berlin. The Spreewald is a very special river landscape with a water network of 970 km, which consists of streams, forests and small islands. Like Venice, Lehde is surrounded by water, which is why the boat was one of the most important means of transport for the inhabitants. Here, too, we see a woman on a boat transporting her harvest across the canal. The wide water surface reflects the light pink and blue nuances of the sky and thus enhances the summer atmosphere. The hay is piled up on the meadows and pastures and the meadows are bathed in fresh green.
