Remarks: with cardboard mounting (without frame) Number: P K-060 Introduction of works: Johann Christoph Erhard (Johann Christoph Erhard) left 195 works in his short life at the age of 27, but he has taken a place in German romantic prints. The artist's etching skills are outstanding. His father is a local Silver wire craftsman in Nuremberg. He soon discovered his son's talent in painting and decided to let him devote himself to artistic creation. In 1809, Elder first learned the techniques of direct engraving and etching at the Nuremberg copperplate artist Ambrosius Gabler. Although Gebler is not an outstanding artist, he can discover the strengths of his students, and Alder thus shows his advantages in landscape painting. Aird also sketches with like-minded artists and paints the beauty of his hometown. During the Napoleonic Wars, Russian troops often passed through the Nuremberg area, giving him the opportunity to depict the army and horses, which became a feature in his works. After Napoleon's fall in 1816, Alder went to Vienna to study the art collection there. He was deeply inspired, and he also wrote much about the scenery of Vienna. He and his friends hiked and traveled through various areas of Austria. What he saw and heard became the fountain of his creation, and he also received many commissions from art dealers. In 1819, he went to Rome. The local scenery fascinated him. The scenery, historical sites, works of famous artists, and the local people made him work endlessly, and he also produced prints for different art dealers. However, he had a melancholic tendency in Germany. After arriving in Rome, his situation deteriorated. On the morning of January 18, 1822, he raised a gun and committed suicide. His prints show his deep understanding of nature, revealing his own characteristics, and his pen style is cautious, with a strong poetic and unrestrained artistic conception. Different creative themes, such as landscapes, architecture, soldiers, custom sketches, portraits, etc., are handled in a light and delicate manner. Those etching brushstrokes that lift the weight become his personal brand. This etched sketch of [Talks at the Black Death Memorial Column Outside Vienna] just illustrates his characteristics. He came to Vienna in 1816 and left a lot of local scenery. The buffer zone (Glacis) between Vienna and the outskirts of the city was originally used for defensive purposes to resist external attacks, and later gradually turned into the economic life of ordinary people. The Black Death Memorial Columns where the officers and the women with their children are located are characteristic of the area ruled by the Booth Royal Family. In addition to commemorating the results of the plague, it also reflects the results of the Catholic forces' victory over the Reformed in this area. Generally, these commemorative columns are many. Gods and saints in Christianity will be worshipped, such as the true triune god, or the Virgin Mary, or other saints who guard the people at the time of the plague. Although the pictures seem simple and everyday, they are the characteristics of Vienna in Alder's eyes. German romantic prints during this period not only recorded the travels of many artists, but also incorporated religious life into the pictures. Aird’s sketches use this scene to outline the peace and tranquility regained after the Napoleonic Wars. Under his light etching strokes, one can enjoy the city life in the buffer zone of Vienna, the houses in the distance, and the nearby houses. The busy farming scene, and the freshly bought vegetables in the women’s basket, the officer can remind people of the war turmoil not long ago. *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.
