A very impressive view of Lake Bienne with île Saint-Pierre in the foreground. Total dimensions: about 61 cm x 46 cm After a beautiful day, the sun bids farewell and plunges the blue sky into a soft reddish glow. On the right side of the image, you can see the mountain tops and the forest radiating a powerful orange red in the foreground. The water of Lake Biel shimmers and shows the last evening activities in the form of a mirror image. However, a few people walk on the shores of St. Peter's Island and a boat heading towards the island. It must be assumed that the evening is cold, as the picture as a whole has a bluish effect and the part of the forest illuminated in reddish colour seems to be covered with a touch of frost. the famous artist Johann Joseph Hartmann, born in Mannheim in 1753 and renowned for his studies with Ferdinand Kobels, successfully settled as a landscape painter in Bienne. gouache/watercolor masterpiece was created. Hartmann was a huge success, especially with views of St. Peter's Island made famous by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
