The Stuttgart School and Plein Air Painting: A Vibrant Landscape with Rustic Idyll

(1821 Stuttgart - 1885 Munich) Landscape with rural idyll. A more freely executed landscape, painted with a bright mood, demonstrates a style focused on overall harmony. It bears the influence of works from the Hague School and the Barbizon School, especially the plein air painting of Charles-François Daubigny. The artist likely encountered these influences during his visit to the World Exposition in Paris in 1867 and his trips to Holland in 1866 and 1870. Oil on canvas. Signed. Dimensions: 29.5 cm x 37.5 cm. Framed. Provenance: Kunsthaus Bühler, Stuttgart.
