Mill in Liebethaler Grund

Mill in Liebethaler Grund is a painting created by Johan Christian Dahl in 1823. 



The artwork, measuring 0.375 meters in width and 0.26 meters in height, is housed in the Galerie Neue Meister. It depicts a mill nestled beside a rushing stream, set against a backdrop of dark, rocky cliffs and lush forest. The mill itself is a simple structure with a thatched roof and white walls, partially obscured by the surrounding vegetation. The stream is the focal point, its turbulent waters rendered with a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The overall palette is dark and moody, with browns, greens, and deep reds dominating the composition. The style suggests a Romantic approach to landscape painting, emphasizing the dramatic interplay of nature and human presence.
