Lot information
This painting by Ferdinand Engellmuller comes from the period 1895-1897, when the painter concentrated on realistic landscape painting under the influence of the work of Antonin Chittussi. Here, Engellmuller has carefully captured a quiet rural landscape with a simple but striking motif of a dirt road winding its way across the flat countryside. The influence of Chittussi is evident in the emphasis on realism and in the work with the atmosphere, where a melancholic tone dominates. The painting is characterized by its moderate color palette and gentle transition of lights and shadows, which enhances the feeling of calm and simplicity, which was very popular in the landscapes of Marak's school at that time.
