At times Schuch even worked on monumental scale: one of his landscapes from the Franche-Comté stretches nearly two meters across. It has been called the “pinnacle” of his art—a work that overwhelms with its luminosity and the sheer density and depth of its painted surface. Only when standing before the canvas itself can one truly grasp its beauty.
