Remarks: with double-layer cardboard mounting (without frame) No.: P K-064-5 about the author: The German painter and printmaker Johann Christian Reinhart (1761-1847) is regarded as the founding figure of German Romantic landscape painting, but his golden age began in Italy. At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, many German artists who had worked in Italy used printmaking as their main creative medium, and Reiner was one of them. After the Renaissance, Italy has become a destination for artists to visit. Most of the German Romantic artists have stayed here for a long or a short time, and Leinte not only married here, but also established his artistic reputation here. In 1829, King Ludwig I of Bavaria (Ludwig I, 1786 ~ 1868) commissioned him to paint four huge Italian landscape paintings (about 170 x 270 cm), which can be imagined at the time of Reynter's fame. Born in Hof, Bavaria, Leinter started painting in high school with the encouragement of his teacher. Originally, he followed in his father's footsteps to study theology before turning to artistic creation. In 1783, he came to Dresden, an important art town in Germany at that time, and studied under the master of Johann Christian Klengel (1751~1824), an early German romantic master of landscape art. Master's work. In 1789 he was awarded a scholarship from the Marquis of Ansbach and left Dresstown for Rome, where he remained until his death in 1847. Living in Rome, perhaps a little more free than in the small principality of Germany at the time, was where Reynter came into contact with artists from all over Europe, including many of his colleagues in his hometown. This is a positive environment where we can learn from each other, but Rinter also has to work hard to stand out in the competitive art market. His paintings, drawings and engravings earned him a reputation and a lucrative income, and in 1801 Lainte was finally able to marry an Italian woman and start a family. After he came to Rome, he participated in the publication project of the Italian landscape prints: 【Malerisch radirte Prospecte aus Italien】(Maleerisch radirte Prospecte aus Italien) by the then Nuremberg art dealer Johann Friedrich Franenholz. The project took seven years (1792~98) and included 72 scenes of Rome and its environs. Wright and two other German printmakers, Albert Christoph Dies (1755~1822) and Ja Jacob Wilhem Mechau (1745~1808) was responsible for 24 works each. From the perspective of scale and era, this publishing project can be said to be the most important printmaking achievement at that time, and it has laid a new paradigm for landscape expression. Let people use historical events to celebrate the past and remember the present. The importance of Leinte in the history of art lies in his ability to transform natural landscapes into idealized pictures, combining known styles, themes and shapes, and transforming them with his superb skills, giving them a heroic and sublime flavor. In addition to his 24 works in [Etching of Italian Landscapes], he also continued to create related prints, with a total of 170 pieces. As for his paintings, in addition to the four collections in the New Pinakothek in Munich today In addition to a work commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, there are eight historical landscape paintings he completed in 1825 at the Palazzo Massimi in Rome, and other works are scattered in galleries across Europe. Introduction of works: In the work [Near Subiaco], Leinte takes us to another beautiful landscape. The mountains in the distant view are gently undulating, and the clusters of trees in the mountains have a high decorative canopy, which is in contrast to the turbulent river flowing among the Stone in the foreground, one bathed in light and the other in shadow. A couple sits quietly by the river, the man plays the piano, and the music drifts, arousing the audience's beautiful longing. Subiaco is a town in the Roman province of Italy (about 65 kilometers east of Rome), and it has developed into the center of Western hermitage culture because of the relationship with Saint Benedict of Nursia (480 ~ 547). His [St. Benedictine Order], which balances the spiritual pursuit of godliness and takes into account the weakness of human nature, has become the norm for most Christian religious groups in the Middle Ages, and he is therefore regarded as the founder of Western Christian monasteries. In the nature filled with religious atmosphere, Xanadu even has the taste of heaven. *If you have any details, please send a message to contact the designer *The main products of this design hall are Western antiques, old jewelry, and old European original prints.
