Discover the beauty of Olympiapark and it’s dark history with this one-of-a-kind acrylic painting by Ashley Baldwin. The piece captures the rolling green hills and deep blue skies of this Munich park, as well as the artist's feelings of awe and inspiration upon visiting for the first time. This painting was the very first one the artist created after moving to Germany and was inspired by the park's stunning beauty and rich history.

Little did the artist know, this park has a history that dates back to the Second World War. After 1945, Olympiapark became a "Trümmerberg," which in German refers to a hill erected from the ruins caused by the destruction of bombings during the war. It is truly amazing how somewhere with such a dark past can also be so beautiful and awe-inspiring.

This landscape piece measures 24 x 18 x 0.75 inches and is painted on traditional cotton archival quality canvas, stapled around professional kiln-dried beveled wood stretchers. The sides are painted, so it can be displayed unframed. It is protected with a high-quality varnish and initialed on the front and signed on the back. It will be packaged securely for safe shipping.
