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

Tempera painting by Peter Demetz, 1962

Sella group in its alpenglow

The eyes of a nature lover

This tempera painting of the Sella massif (in Ladin Sas dla Luesa, Mëisules) bathed by the evening light comes from Peter Demetz da Fëur (1913-1977), who taught in the art schools in Wolkenstein and St. Ulrich after the Second World War. The motif of the Dolomites unspoilt by human hand was often employed by this keen hiker.
