Friedrich Gauermann
(Miesenbach 1807–1862 Vienna) Girl Returning Home with Goats and Herd of Cows, signed F. Gauermann, oil on panel, 50 x 66 cm, framed, cradeled, (Rei)
Friedrich Gauermann is one of the most important landscape painters of the Biedermeier period. He was educated at first by his father, the copper engraver Jakob Gauermann, and then attended the Vienna Academy. His artistic works were strongly influenced by his travels to Dresden, Munich and Northern Italy. Throughout his life he was inspired by Dutch landscape painting, particularly that of von Ruisdael, whose paintings he had copied as a 14-year old boy. In these landscapes he discovered that the treatment of all the subjects dear to him – woods, meadows and cattle – corresponded with his own view of the world. However, his depictions should not be seen simply as imitations; instead he reinterprets them by means of nuanced colours, and in the relationship between light and shade.
