Reinhold Stecher picture calendar 2025

For the popular Bishop of Innsbruck, Reinhold Stecher (1921-2013), painting was a relaxing pastime and a way to help. The auction of his watercolours for well-building projects in Mali, West Africa, has raised almost 1.4 million euros in donations over the years. Bishop Stecher loved to paint atmospheric landscapes. Mountains, sun, and water are his preferred motifs. Thoughts from literature and spirituality complement the watercolours and make this calendar a contemplative companion throughout the year.
