Context: The painting “tree at the water“ was painted in germany, the date of when the painting when it was painted is unknown, the painting is a very peaceful piece of art, he must of gotten inspired of how the place was peaceful,with all its colors,smells and textures. It takes place in nature, soothing sound of birds etc. The people probably liked the painting because of Pechstein creativity with the colors he chose.

Pechstein received wide public recognition before the other Die Brucke artists. The height of his popularity was in the 1920’s. He took a teaching position at the Berlin Academy.
Analysis: This painting has many elements to peace. No matter where you look there is something calm about it. It is in a calm setting too. One thing that is peaceful would be the water where it is calm and steady. Also it is in a peaceful part of the day, where the sun is starting to set. The colors of the painting also make it seem calm and may brighten your mood.
Theme: The theme of this painting is in the evening gaze with a vibrant, peaceful, luminescent painting with a summer vibe and find peace within yourself with the help of nature.
