Ducks on Lake Chiemsee in a Brewing Storm | By Alexander Koester (German, 1864–1932) | c. early 20th century

Alexander Koester was a renowned German painter best known for his evocative landscapes and exceptionally detailed depictions of ducks, often set against serene lakes or dramatic, changing skies. A leading figure of the Munich School, Koester had a remarkable ability to capture movement, light, and atmosphere—particularly in water scenes, where reflections and subtle ripples bring his compositions to life. His work combines natural realism with emotional depth, making his paintings both technically impressive and visually captivating.
