New Illustration: Landscape and History! The Storm on Lake Lucerne


 

As a Burgundian Wars-era (1474-1477) Swiss Foot Soldier crosses a windy pass, in the distance, over the picturesque and beautiful Lake Lucerne, a storm approaches. The wind blows, and two large golden eagles appear to be approaching the Soldier...

This illustration, I loved painting every detail of the wonderful landscape around the Lake, was made especially for "The Alpine Arcane Trophy", a "Sorcery:  Contested Realm" tournament taking place in Baden, Switzerland, in October. The illustration will be published as a special playmat for the winners and as a special card.

I thank the Organizers so much for giving me this wonderful artistic opportunity!

Here's all the information about The Alpine Arcane Trophy:

"Anastasias Geheimnis" (Anastasia's secret), illustrations for the story about Anastasia von Signau (by Verena Zuercher, Landverlag)



The cover of the book project "Anastasias Geheimnis. Eine mittelalterliche Raetselgeschichte", by the author Verena Zuercher, published by Landverlag. A short tale about the young Lady from Signau which leads schoolchildren hikers to the historical places of her story. Lots of black and white ink illustrations. 

On the "variant" cover, Anastasia in front of Burgdorf Castle


One of the color covers among the many black and white ink line drawings...



 One of the line drawings: a medieval gold digger along the river Emme (did you know that already for the Celts and then throughout the Middle Ages the river Emme was very coveted by gold diggers?)
