"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Oil painting by Josef Moroder Lusenberg, 1925

View of St. Ulrich in 1860

Retrospective view of St. Ulrich

This painting, completed in 1925 by the painter Josef Moroder Lusenberg, is meant to depict St. Ulrich, the village where he grew up in the 1860s as seen from his house. This retrospective look is connected with the profound developments occurring in the valley in the wake of the booming art and tourist trade up until the First World War, causing farming to decline in importance.
