View of Ischl, Ferdinand Georg Waldm�ller, roughly 18 x 22 inches (45 x 57 cm), oil on wod panel; in the collection of the Alte Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
This landscape by the early 19th century Austrian painter is a view of a mountain village in 1838.
The museum�s site has both a zoomable and downloadable version of the image. There is also a zoomable version on the Google Art Project. I found these images to be somewhat dingy looking, as though the painting�s varnish had yellowed.
There is an image version on Wikimedia Commons, that looks appealingly brighter, and unlike many �adjusted� art images on the web, appears to have been worked on by someone with professional level graphic arts skills.
However, it may still be a bit too far from the real thing given the appearance of the museum�s version.
Taking into account my experience with art images of paintings I�ve seen in person that are often reproduced too darkly on the museum websites, I�ve taken the liberty of making my own adjustment, somewhere between the two.
