Abendlandschaft mit Brücke

1855

not on display

Rudolf Koller1828 Zürich – 1905 Zürich

Robert Zünd painted an evening landscape of such similar composition that the two pictures were probably created simultaneously as composition exercises on a given theme. This procedure was common among students and is attested for the 'small society of artists' in Zurich in these years. It is also possible that the two friends also only met among themselves. The starting point may have been compositions by Claude Lorrain around 1640 ('Blick auf Luzern von Wartenfluh', see Robert Zünd, Ausst.-Kat. Lucerne 2004, p. 103).In: Kunsthaus Zürich.
