‘Lake Lucerne’
Richard ‘Dick’ Kirnach (20th Century)
A charming alpine scene depicting a small chapel set beside the still waters of Lake Lucerne, with the dramatic peak of Mount Pilatus rising beyond. The composition is rendered in soft, pastel tones, with delicate pink hues across the mountains and sky, creating a gentle, almost dreamlike atmosphere. A winding path leads the eye toward the chapel, adding a quiet sense of narrative and place.
