Our scene shows a monastery idyllically embedded in a picturesquely wide and green landscape, surrounded by a meandering river. Based on the importance of landscape for the representatives of the Düsseldorf school of painting, we also find a great and decisive turn to landscape as a carrier of mood in Schmitz's work. In his oeuvre, he concentrated mainly on the depiction of monastic and monastic life. Oil on canvas. Barely legibly signed and dated. Verso with label on stretcher, inscribed there by a third party with details of the work. Framed in a gilded stucco frame. - Paint rubbing and chipping along the edges as a result of the framing. Varnish slightly yellowed. Some craquelure due to age. On the verso of the right side of the canvas with partial retouching there. Overall in a still good condition.
