"Keller-Roithlingen: Motifs of Nature and Contrasts in Art"

(1854 Reutlingen - 1920 Munich) (1854 Reutlingen - 1920 Munich) A peasant woman herding a flock of geese by the river and a farmhouse in evening light – a motif characteristic of the artist, whose images are distinguished by intense, fresh, bright accents of color and strong, striking contrasts of light. Keller-Reutlingen, who studied in Stuttgart and Munich, was particularly drawn to motifs such as farms and peasant women tending to ducks or geese, due to their deep emotional content and the opportunity to depict atmosphere, light, and color in a single painting. In addition to exhibiting his works at the Glass Palace, he also showed his paintings at the Munich Secession, which he co-founded in 1893. Oil on canvas; signed; 40.5 cm x 60.5 cm. Framed.
