A particularly subtle surrealistic note in this painting is the depiction of a river crossing with bridges. Despite the initial normality, there is a deviation from the norm and movement in this river crossing, which gives the painting an idiosyncratic style. This painting could convey the message of allowing nature to go with its own flow and regulate itself - without human intervention such as genetic engineering. The painting could speak in favor of leaving nature as it is and not making any human interventions that could interfere with its naturalness. The oil painting on wood panel otherwise shows a landscape stretching far into the distance, with an unobstructed view as far as the horizon. Individual trees are wild and widely scattered, with no signs of human agricultural influence. In the distance, a mountain range stretches out in various shades of blue and gray, dominating the horizon. A summer sky with a light tinge lies above. The landscape in the foreground offers a new plain at the bottom left, with large stones and another river course. The water of this third river in the composition appears to be plunging into the depths, but is turned away from the viewer's gaze. The accompanying waterfall can only be guessed at and is left to the imagination. Above the river stretches an ageing stone bridge that carries a certain history within it. Overall, this painting expresses the natural beauty of nature and reminds us how important it is to protect and preserve it. It invites the viewer to immerse themselves in this picturesque landscape and experience the poetry of nature.
