"Spring in Campania: A Bright Landscape with Cypresses and a Young Couple"

(1842 Hamburg - 1923 ibid.) "Spring in Campania". Original title: A cheerful, harmonious, light-filled landscape with a wide view from a high vantage point over the Campania plain. In the foreground, a picturesque hut with a conical roof, two cypresses rising into the sky, blooming fruit trees, as well as a young couple and another separate figure. Painted in a bright, pastel color palette and partly with soft brushstrokes, creating an atmospheric landscape. Lutterroth studied from 1864 to 1867 under Oswald Achenbach at the Düsseldorf Academy. From 1868 to 1870, Lutterroth spent time in Rome and made study trips throughout Italy. Upon returning to his hometown, he gained a considerable reputation as a landscape painter, extending far beyond Hamburg. The princely couple Friedrich Wilhelm and Victoria showed particular attention to him. One of his main themes were Italian landscapes and Venetian motifs. Oil on canvas; signed. Title and inscription "A Lutterroth Hamburg Uhlenhorst" on the reverse. 80.5 cm x 118.5 cm. Framed.
