Impressionist landscape paintings full of light belong to the top works by Philipp Franck. They mostly show landscapes between Taunus and Wannsee, more rarely Mediterranean scenes like the view from Malcesine to the opposite shore of Lake Garda. From 1924, Franck travelled with his family to Italy for a longer period of time every year, where works of particular colourfulness were created.
