"Geroldsauer Valley Close to Baden-Baden," Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, 1855.
Schirmer (1807-1863) started as a painter of historical scenes, but later found his calling as a landscape painter, one of the founding members of what was later known as the Dusseldorf School. His work embraced both Classicism and Romanticism, and also included Biblical scenes.
Here we have a real-life valley in Germany, depicts an early morning in that golden time of late summer/early fall. A woman with a parasol and a young man (lower right) are wandering, taking in the air. Below us stretches a vista of farm fields, trees, and scattered houses, including a mill. A road stretches through the valley, following a stream. In the distance we have various peaks of the Black Forest mountains, realistically depicted.
I love this scene; it reminds me so much of the Appalachian scenery of my home.
From the Staatsliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.
