"Stafelalp bei Mondschein" (Stafelalp in Moonlight) is a notable painting by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1919 during his time in Davos, Switzerland. This work is emblematic of Kirchner's intense exploration of the relationship between humans and nature, a theme that became increasingly central to his art following his move to the Swiss Alps in 1917 due to health reasons.

The painting depicts a nocturnal scene of the Stafelalp, a location in the Swiss mountains that Kirchner frequented and which served as a profound source of inspiration for him. Characterized by its bold use of color and dynamic brushwork, the composition captures the essence of the alpine landscape bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight. The scene is devoid of human figures, which is somewhat atypical for Kirchner's oeuvre, as he often included the human form as a central element. However, the absence of figures in this piece serves to highlight the stark and rugged beauty of the natural environment.

"Stafelalp bei Mondschein" is considered a prime example of Kirchner's mature style, where he synthesizes the emotional intensity of German Expressionism with the tranquil and restorative qualities he found in the mountainous terrain. The painting's palette is dominated by cool blues and purples, punctuated by warmer tones that suggest the interplay of light and shadow under the moon's illumination.

As a member of the Die Brücke group, Kirchner's work is often associated with a raw, emotive force, but his Swiss landscapes, such as "Stafelalp bei Mondschein," convey a more subdued and contemplative mood. This painting reflects Kirchner's personal struggle with mental illness and his search for solace in nature, themes that resonate throughout his later works.

Today, "Stafelalp bei Mondschein" is recognized as an important piece in Kirchner's body of work and holds a place in the canon of 20th-century art. It continues to be studied for its innovative approach to color, composition, and its reflection of the artist's psychological state. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the development of Expressionism and for its influence on the modern perception of the alpine landscape in art.
