About the artwork

A magnificent young cow of the Allgäu Brown Swiss breed (Bos primigenius taurus) grazes on a lush green alpine meadow high up on the Fellhorn, in the middle of the majestic Allgäu Alps. Surrounded by the rolling hills and towering peaks of the Allgäu Alps, the young cattle enjoy the fresh mountain air and lush grasses that this unspoilt landscape offers them.
The young cattle, a symbol of the connection between man and nature, seem to be in their element. With every bite of the lush grass, it absorbs the essence of this unspoilt nature, as if it could sense the stories of the centuries contained in these meadows with every chew. Its brown, shiny coat colour harmonises perfectly with the lush green of the alpine meadow, while the sun softly sweeps over the scenery and spreads a warm, golden light.
In this peaceful setting, the cattle are part of a larger, harmonious whole. It epitomises the centuries-old tradition of alpine farming in the Allgäu, where humans and animals live in respectful harmony with nature. Here, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, you will find an oasis of peace and unspoilt nature, where time seems to stand still and nature puts on its timeless show.
The Allgäu Alps, with their breathtaking beauty and rich flora and fauna, offer not only a habitat for animals, but also a retreat for people. In this moment, captured in one picture, the deep connection between man, animal and nature becomes tangible - a symphony of the elements that is touching in its simplicity and naturalness
