Description
Watercolour, 20.5 ∙ 28.5 cm², 2014. — From a Gothic steeple high above the city of St. Michel am Felsen (“St Michael at the Rock”) a brass band is musically proclaiming the Gospel. For a detailed description see my preliminary scrap for this picture. Real and ﬁctitious examples have been

▪ Mühlhausen in Thuringia (travertine architecture),
▪ Wetzlar (half-timber architecture, hillside with church on top ),
▪ Herborn (half-timber architecture, hillside, wall towers ),
▪ Friedberg in Hesse (Adolf’s Tower ),
▪ Freyburg on Unstrut (St. Mary’s Church ),
▪ Mont St. Michel (stone architecture, cone form with church on top)

and not least—as the painting resumes my series of tolkienesque pictures—
▪ Minas Tirith (construction from white stone and in several rings with separate walls, cone form with with basilica on top).
