Grunewaldsee, Berlin was painted in 1893 at a time when Ury sought respite from the business of the capital and instead focused on landscape painting. At the time the Grunewaldsee was a recurring motif.

Thanks for introducing me to the painter, I’ve not heard about him before. It’s interesting to note his fascination with effects of changing light, I vouch capturing it wouldn’t be easy. The attention to details is amazing!
