"Children by the roadside chapel: pastel tones and national costumes in the highlands of Tyrol"

(1898 Munich – 1947 same place) Children at the Wayside Chapel. In pastel tones, the wayside chapel at the edge of the forest is depicted realistically, with children in national costumes praying, most likely in the highlands of Tyrol. This Biedermeier, summery and joyful painting by Moralt is firmly rooted in the tradition of Carl Spitzweg. He studied under his father, Paul Moralt, a student of Spitzweg and Christian Morgenstern; in addition, he possessed several albums with sketches and preliminary drawings by Spitzweg. From 1903, Moralt studied at the Munich Academy under Karl Raupp and quickly achieved success at the Munich Glass Palace. Oil on wooden panel. Signed with location Munich. 55 cm x 38 cm. Framed.
