The Hohe Göll in the Evening
Rottmann returned to motifs from the Bavarian Alps in his late work. This dramatic image of a mountain landscape in evening light recalls his cycle of Greek paintings in Munich’s Neue Pinakothek. The Hoher Göll in the Berchtesgaden Alps was among Rottmann’s best-known subjects. He depicted it several times in works that were widely imitated by other painters.
