Description
Attributed to Josef Hoffmann,
Austrian 1831-1904-
Two figures in an Italianate landscape, with a river and classical buildings beyond;
oil on canvas, indistinctly signed 'Hoffmann' (lower right), 79.5 x 62.5 cm.
Provenance:
Property from a European Private Collection.
Note:
The present work recalls the Arcadian scenes which make up much of Hoffmann's output, with extensive Italianate landscapes populated by figures in Classical dress amongst architectural features and dramatic scenery. This befits Hoffmann's experience designing stage sets for the New Vienna Court Opera in the late 1860s, including for productions of Romeo & Juliet and The Magic Flute. He also later produced landscape murals for the Hernstein Castle, the Palais Epstein, and the Parliament building in Vienna.
