Opus IV, Simplicius in der Waldeinode (Simplicius in the Wilderness) belongs to a series of prints called Intermezzi realized by Max Klinger, published by Nurnberg: Stroefer, 1881. Etching on paper. Signed in the plate. Good condition with slight foxing. Dedicated to the engraver and art dealer Hermann Sagert who had supported the publication of the young artist's works. Intermezzi by Max Klinger offers a wide assortment of entertainment, such as short comic interludes between scenes of an opera. The portfolio highlights the capriciousness of life and includes a sequence of four prints on the mythological lives of centaurs, four prints based on Hans Jakob Christoph von Grimmelshausen's 17th-century tale The Adventurous Simplicissimus, and four free compositions that further elaborate Klinger's favorite themes of desire, death and fantasy. The twelve etchings vary in size and format, but all reveal sublime panoramas and demonstrate Klinger's mastery of the vocabulary of romantic landscapes and the lessons learned from studying Japanese prints. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
