About the artwork

The sun slowly sinks into the horizon in a golden glow, while the evening sky shines above the pilgrimage church of Birnau. The imposing silhouette of the church rises majestically in the midst of this idyllic panorama. In front of it stretches a gentle vineyard slope, its green leaves glowing in the warm evening light.

The pilgrimage church of Birnau, a jewel of baroque architecture, is enthroned on a hill on the shore of Lake Constance. Its imposing towers reach towards the sky as if to receive the blessings of the evening. The fascinating façade, decorated with ornate stucco ornaments and statues, tells stories of times gone by.
The cloudless sky is adorned with a breathtaking blue that gently turns into warm orange tones. It is as if the colours of the sunset embrace the church and give it a radiant aura. The evening light bathes the walls in a golden glow, enveloping the magnificent building in a fairytale light.
In the foreground of the picture, a vineyard slope reveals itself, covered with lush green leaves. The vines stretch towards the sky as if they wanted to feel the sun a little closer. Their rich colours and vital splendour harmonise perfectly with the peace and majesty of the sanctuary.
At this moment, time seems to stand still. The pilgrimage church of Birnau and the vineyard slope merge into a poetic painting that celebrates the beauty of nature and the dedication of human creativity. It is a place of contemplation and wonder that reminds us how precious and transient this world is.
May this painting linger in our hearts forever as a testimony to the harmony between heaven, earth and the infinite beauty we can find around us.
