Lorenz Huber’s “Winter in Maria Rickenbach” (2023) is a pastel painting that depicts a quiet winter day in the Swiss Alps. With its soft, layered strokes, the artwork captures the snow-covered village and its surrounding landscape, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow in the muted tones of winter. (A small chapel in the foreground adds a sense of structure and familiarity to the scene, reflecting the quiet charm of the area.)
Maria Rickenbach, located in the canton of Nidwalden, is a place where Huber has spent much time over the years. Among the residents of the small village, the painter from Lucerne has become a real familiar presence. Maria Rickenbachs remote Alpine setting, with its characteristic architecture and natural beauty, provides recurring inspiration for Lorenz Huber’s work.
