PAINTINGS

Lonely Black Forest Farm by Fritz Reiss presents a quiet, evocative portrayal of rural life nestled deep within the heart of the German countryside. Known for his deep connection to the Black Forest region and its people, Reiss captures here not just a place, but a mood—one of solitude, resilience, and the dignified rhythm of everyday labor far from the bustle of urban life.

Eduard Majsch’s Night Watch in the Old Town immerses the viewer in a hushed, lamp-lit evening within a historic European village. Narrow cobblestone streets weave through the composition, flanked by tall, weathered buildings with steep rooftops and shuttered windows. A solitary figure—the night watchman—patrols quietly, his silhouette illuminated by the flicker of a lantern he holds aloft.

unset by Frederic Edwin Church is a luminous testament to the artist’s unrivaled ability to translate the drama of nature onto canvas. A key figure of the Hudson River School, Church was known for his grand, awe-inspiring landscapes, and in this piece, the focus shifts inward—toward a moment of quiet majesty as the sun descends beyond the horizon.

Der Sommermorgen by Ferdinand Bruner captures the quiet, golden stillness of an early summer morning, rendered with the gentle sensitivity characteristic of the Austrian landscape tradition. In this work, Bruner distills a fleeting moment in nature into something timeless—a harmonious blend of light, air, and atmosphere that evokes both peace and promise.

Nonne by Anton Hansch is a masterful example of 19th-century Romantic landscape painting, where nature becomes both a subject and a sanctuary. In this work, Hansch guides the viewer into a tranquil alpine scene, likely inspired by his many travels through the Austrian and Bavarian Alps.
