About the piece

Created in 1822 by the Prussian landscape artist Peter Ludwig Lütke, this oil on canvas presents a tranquil view of Peacock Island (Pfaueninsel) from the south. The composition utilizes a masterfully rendered screen of trees in the foreground to frame the luminous water and the distant, romantic follies of the island park, all bathed in the soft, hazy light of a late afternoon sun.
