"Schafe am Bodensee" (Sheep at Lake Constance) is a painting by Adolf Chelius, a German artist known for his landscape and animal paintings. Born in 1838 in Mannheim, Chelius studied at the Karlsruhe Academy and was influenced by the Barbizon school, which emphasized the beauty of the natural world and often featured pastoral scenes. "Schafe am Bodensee" is a testament to Chelius's skill in capturing the serene beauty of the German countryside and his particular attention to the realistic depiction of animals, especially sheep.

The painting portrays a flock of sheep grazing peacefully near the shores of Lake Constance, a large lake situated at the northern foot of the Alps, bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Chelius's work is characterized by a harmonious composition, with a gentle interplay of light and shadow that suggests the time of day and season. The artist's use of color and meticulous brushwork contribute to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene, inviting viewers to contemplate the simplicity and quietude of rural life.

"Schafe am Bodensee" reflects the 19th-century European artistic movement that sought to capture the essence of nature and the countryside as a counterpoint to the rapid industrialization of the era. Chelius's painting is not only a visual record of the bucolic landscape around Lake Constance but also an expression of the romantic idealization of nature that was prevalent among artists of his time.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is likely from the latter half of the 19th century, a period when Chelius was most active in his artistic career. The painting is significant for its contribution to the genre of animal painting and for its representation of the German landscape painting tradition of the time. "Schafe am Bodensee" remains an important work for understanding the regional art history of the Bodensee area and the broader context of German landscape painting in the 19th century.
