"Betender Mönch vor Marterl an südländischer Steilküste" (Praying Monk before a Wayside Shrine on a Southern Steep Coast) is a 19th-century painting by the German artist Ascan Lutteroth (1842–1923). Known for his landscape paintings, Lutteroth was part of the Düsseldorf school of painting, which emphasized detailed and finely crafted works with romantic elements. This particular painting is notable for its depiction of a tranquil yet dramatic natural scene, combined with a human element that invites contemplation on spirituality and solitude.

The painting captures a moment of quiet devotion, as a monk is seen in prayer before a small shrine or "Marterl," a term used in Southern Germany and Austria for a wayside shrine or memorial. The setting is a rugged southern European coast, likely inspired by Lutteroth's travels in Italy, where such landscapes and religious symbols are common. The contrast between the grandeur of the natural world and the humble figure of the monk serves to highlight themes of piety, nature's majesty, and the search for the divine in the everyday world.

The composition of "Betender Mönch vor Marterl an südländischer Steilküste" is marked by its attention to detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which was characteristic of the Düsseldorf school's approach to painting. Lutteroth's use of color and texture brings a sense of realism to the scene, while also conveying the emotional and spiritual resonance of the moment.

Ascan Lutteroth's work is part of the broader 19th-century European art movement that included elements of Romanticism, with a focus on the sublime in nature and the exploration of human experience through landscape. "Betender Mönch vor Marterl an südländischer Steilküste" exemplifies these themes and offers a window into the artist's world view, as well as the cultural and artistic currents of his time. The painting is a significant piece within Lutteroth's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the period's artistic expression.
