Dated 1869 - Antique Landscape Oil Painting of Meersburg Castle at Sunset
A lovely antique landscape oil painting showcasing the beautiful Meersburg Castle on Lake Constance, with the Swiss Alps in the background, dated 1869. Two people walking on the pathway in the lower part of the work. This is a sunset painting with wonderful warm light draping from right to left (West to East). The artist did an amazing job of showcasing the sunset light just starting on the wide horizon where the warm light hits much clearer on the west side of the landscape. It does really take such incredible talent to paint this accurately as this type of light would only appear at the start of the evening sunset and would have been present for a very limited time (10-15 minutes) each evening. Surely the artist spent quite many evenings on on this hill to capture the sunset over Meersburg Castle, Lake Constance and Alps.
Built in the 7th Century, Meersburg Castle is known as one of the oldest castles in Europe in that still inhabitable and open for visitors.
There is a signature that is very hard to make out and is dated 1869. The signature and date are nestled behind the rebate of the frame. This is It has recently been to the restorer for a professional cleaning and new varnish applied. This painting has also been to another restorer not too long ago where it was re-canvased and put on new stretchers. Ready to be hang, and to be enjoyed for generations. Please see all photos
