Weber's Art: Forest Path with a Temple

(1872 Vienna – 1949 same place.) A forest path with a side chapel, a peasant woman, and a goat on a sunny meadow. This early work by Weber captures the play of light, a characteristic feature of his art. Weber, who studied at the Vienna Academy and regularly exhibited at the Vienna Künstlerhaus, settled in Spitz on the Danube around 1900, then in Stein on the Danube in 1921, and finally in Krems on the Danube in 1933. His work includes Austrian and Italian landscape motifs, including those from the Wachau region. Watercolor and gouache on paper, mounted on cardboard. Signed and dated 1899. Dimensions: 39.5 cm x 26 cm. In a frame.
