Vienna is an important city of literature and art in Europe. It used to be the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and the palace of the emperor. It is naturally a gathering place for humanities. In 1692, the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (Akademie der bildenden Künste) was established. It drew most of the art from Western Europe, based on classical theories. In 1767, Franz Edmund Weirotter (1733 /1771) became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts and introduced landscape painting into the curriculum for the first time. He studied in Paris and was influenced by the taste of France at the time, and he preferred Dutch art of the seventeenth century. After that, Brand (Johann Christian Brand, 1722/1795) took over his position. Although he painted the scenery of the outskirts of Vienna and placed a large piece of nature in the center of the picture, the overall way of expression still does not deviate from the Dutch flavor. His student Martin von Molitor (1759 / 1812), the creator of our artwork, followed in the footsteps of predecessors, using typical Dutch and Flanders forests The scenery of the forest and woods is painted, while the actual landscape is derived from the Vienna Forest in the Danube region. Joseph Mössmer (1780 – 1845), the artist who carved this etching, received artistic training under Brand at the age of 16, and became brothers with Molitor. The two also created a new classic The artistic style of landscape painting. From the perspective of the artistic inheritance of landscape painting in the early stage of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, the 17th century Dutch landscape painting has a decisive influence. [The herd in the valley] This work can also aptly illustrate the way of expression of the etching art of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in this period. It uses delicate and short lines to outline various shapes, from the grassland, sheep and shepherd boys in the close-up, to the boulders and rocks in the valley. trees grown along the Stone block, and then erected by the stakes in single and distant mountains, there are so Lichtung induced strokes, only the use of the dark portion intersecting lines and apply a thin ink on the printing plate, to increase shadow outside, There is no too strong contrast between light and dark, and the overall picture appears clear and clear. *If you have any detailed questions, please send an email to contact the designer *The main merchandisers of this design hall are mainly Western antiques, old jewellery and home accessories, and old European original prints.
