Description
Attributed to Adalbert Waagen,
German 1833-1898-
Alpine landscape, with a wanderer on a path;
oil on canvas, 93.5 x 125 cm.
Provenance:
Property from a European Private Collection.
Note:
Waagen was known for his dramatic Alpine landscapes, much like the present painting. In the present work, the artist has emphasised the vast scale of the mountains by contrasting the enormity of the landscape with the diminutive figure of the hiker in the foreground, with the earthy tones set against the clear blue of the sky and the bright white of the peaks in the distance. The theme of a wanderer, almost consumed by the landscape around them, is one which recurs throughout Waagen's oeuvre, and is evident in a number of his works, including one which sold at Dorotheum, Austria on 17 December 2021 (lot 88), and another which sold at Hampel, Munich, on 8 December 2007 (lot 1584), both of which were smaller than the present piece. A painting by Waagen on a slightly larger scale, similarly depicting tiny figures who are dwarfed by the hills which surround them, sold at Hampel, Munich on 28 June 2019 (lot 1479) for £29,617.
