Evening at Gmund on Lake Tegernsee Georg Heinrich Crola (Eig. Croll)

Handwritten and dated on the reverse of a label. This atmospheric evening landscape was probably painted on site at a bend in the Mangfall near Gmund am Tegernsee. Here, the artist depicts a wooded riverside landscape with a fisherman, rendered in the finest shades of colour – a level of detail that can only be achieved through direct study of nature. This is further evidenced by the technique used: oil paints on laid paper, which the artist later laid down on a panel. The years in Munich from 1830 to 1838 were of crucial importance for Crola’s artistic development; likewise, Munich landscape painting received inspiration from the young Dresden artist, who, as a pupil of Johann Clausen Dahl and Caspar David Friedrich, brought a touch of Dresden Romanticism to the South German art scene. | 1804 Dresden – Ilsenburg 1879 | 19.
