Joseph Schöpf
}.webp', extensionName: 'dorotheum')})
(Telfs 1745–1822 Innsbruck)
Scenes from the legend of St. Lawrence, bozzetto for the ceiling painting above the organ loft in the old parish church of Wattens (Tyrol), oil on paper, mounted on card, 46 x 39 cm, framed,
Certificate: Dr Josef Straßer, Munich (2010). Dr Gert Ammann of the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum has confirmed in writing in1981 that this is a work by Schöpf and a bozzetto for the church in Wattens. Alongside Martin Knoller, Josef Schöpf was the most important Tyrolean fresco painter of the late 18th century. He was influenced by classicising tendencies due to his training in Rome. Nonetheless, the composition and coloration of his works are linked to the Rococo.
The paintings 421-447 originate from a Southern German private collection, which was amassed over the last few decades with great connoisseurship and art historical interest. The collector, a doctor, specialized from early on in 18th-century Southern German and Austrian oil studies and bozzetti, alongside a number of Italian works of a similar quality. Thus a small, but choice collection was brought together, characterized by its owner’s cultivated taste and knowledge of artistic interconnections.
