More about this artwork
"Morgen," a compelling landscape painting by Thomas Leitner, invites viewers into a serene, natural setting bathed in the warm, gentle light of early morning. Painted in 1902, this artwork captures a tranquil moment by the water's edge, where a cluster of tall, slender trees stands regally. Their russet and green foliage, depicted with delicate brush strokes, reflects beautifully on the shimmering surface of the nearby water, enriching the scene with depth and tranquility.The sky, painted in soft shades of pink and light blue, suggests the break of dawn, a time of day known for its quiet beauty and promise of new beginnings. The gentle gradient of the sky and the subtle reflections in the water showcase Leitner's skill in rendering light and atmosphere."Morgen" is more than just a visual treat; it's a meditation on peace and natural beauty, encouraging viewers to pause and reflect on the quiet majesty of the natural world.
