Bankov

Anton Jasusch is best known for his set of giant apocalyptic canvasses, which contemplated the fate of humanity and channelled his traumas from the eastern front in the First World War. In addition to existential works, he also created many enchanting and inherently dynamic landscapes.

Deep woods in Bankov near Košice are a favourite local holiday destination, thanks to the "healing" waters and pristine nature close to the city. Jasusch painted the serpentine forest railroad in a gentle, relaxing manner, while still invoking feelings of mystery and a mild vertigo. The painting also seems to be saying farewell to the viewer.
