Product description

Max Werner (1887–1951)
View of Schleswig and the Schlei, around 1920
Oil on canvas

The wide, hilly landscape of Schleswig-Holstein with its fields and meadows opens up to the horizon, where the towers of the city of Schleswig and the water of the Schlei become visible. The wide sky is particularly impressive with its voluminous clouds, which dominate almost the entire image area and shape the light of the scene.

Max Werner, a North German painter, was based on Impressionism without completely dissolving its forms. His painting combines precise observation of the landscape with atmospheric condensation. In contrast to the expressive colors of Emil Nolde or the figure-rich scenes of the Ekensund artists' colony, Werner emphasized the quiet harmony of heaven and earth.

The painting is an example of landscape painting in the north around 1920: It shows home not only as a geographical space, but as an atmospheric expanse in which nature and light form an almost poetic unity. The work is sold
