Lüftlmalerei is a popular, folk-oriented variation of trompe-l'œil from the Baroque and imitates architectural elements. As in 'high architecture' it also embeds pictorial cartouches, mirrors and fields. Its subject matter ranges from the patron saints of houses or house emblems to representations of Biblical stories and the classical motifs of peasant art from everyday rural life to hunting. Banners with mottos are common and the sundial is also a popular element.
Stephan Pfeffer is the "Lueftl"-painter of Mittenwald, a small town at the Tyrolean border. He learned the craft from his father, whose pictures adorn the village’s houses to this day.
