BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL OIL ON PAPER LANDSCAPE
ADALBERT WAAGEN (1833-1898)
DIMENSIONS
About 5 1/2" X 8 3/4" overall.
DESCRIPTION
Wonderful oil on paper landscape, of rugged mountain peaks and a quiet lake with tall evergreen trees. Almost certainly a view of Mt. Watzmann, Berchtesgaden, Germany. Clearly signed and dated lower left "A. Waagen 1882." Unframed. Paper laid down on the original canvas and stretcher.
Adalbert Waagen was a German landscape painter, born in Berchtesgaden. His father was the artist, Carl Waagen. His first lessons were with a watercolorist named Fritz Zeiss. From 1855 to 1858, he studied with Albert Zimmermann in Munich, then accompanied him on a study trip to Milan, Italy. He was commissioned by Prince Georg to create frescoes at the Villa Carlotta on Lake Como. Later, he returned to Munich and established his own studio. He made regular painting expeditions to the southern mountains. In 1868, a wealthy uncle died, and he inherited a villa in Berchtesgaden. He moved there with his new wife in 1869 and opened a studio, with a direct view of Mount Watzmann. His focus was on mountainous landscapes, and he painted numerous small scenes much like this one.
