Das Bild Eisvogel in Winterlandschaft kann zu der berühmten Gruppe der Winterbilder von Adolf Dietrich gezählt werden. Die Schnee- und Eislandschaften entstanden hauptsächlich während der Kriegsjahre, aber auch später blieb die winterliche Atmosphäre ein beliebtes Motiv. Das Werk des lebenslang in Berlingen am Untersee wohnhaften Künstlers ist von der Natur und Landschaft seiner Heimat geprägt. Er vollendete die Bilder zu Hause an seinem Stubentisch in tagelanger Feinstarbeit. Neben den Landschaftsbildern interessierte sich Adolf Dietrich schon in seinen jungen Jahren für das naturwissenschaftlich genaue Abbilden verschiedenster Lebewesen. Der Eisvogel vereint eine minutiöse Darstellungsweise von Tier- und Pflanzenmotiven mit der winterlichen Atmosphäre der gefrorenen Uferlandschaft zu einer äusserst kunstvollen Komposition.
The work Eisvogel in Winterlandschaft may be considered part of Adolf Dietrich's famous group of winter pictures. The snow and ice landscapes were produced mainly during the war years, but even later the wintry atmosphere remained a favoured motif. The work of this artist, who was a lifelong resident of Berlingen am Untersee, is imbued with the nature and the landscape of his home. He would complete the pictures at home at his table, spending entire days at this intricate work. Alongside landscapes, Adolf Dietrich was, since his early years, interested in scientifically accurate depictions of various forms of life. The ice bird brings together the painstaking depiction of plant and animal motifs with the wintry atmosphere of the frozen shore landscape in an extremely skilful composition.
