THOMASSIN Attributed Austrian landscapes romantic pair painting Brazil 19th

About the Item

Désiré THOMASSIN (Attributed to) Vienna, 1858 – Munich, 1933 Oil on panel 32 x 50 cm (42 x 60 cm with frame) Inscription on the back “Thomassin / Brazil” Désiré Thomassin was an Austrian painter and composer. He studied music in Munich between 1877 and 1881 with Josef Rheinberger and Max Hieber. Thomassin initially worked as a composer, but without success he turned to painting. Today Désiré Thomassin is better known as a painter than as a composer. Thomassin is said to have studied with Wilhelm von Diez at the Akademie der Künste in Munich. He then worked for the Munich art dealer Jakob Anger and took photos for him, which he signed “Désiré Renardt”. Thomassin painted rural genre scenes and coastal landscapes. He was close to the Dachau artists' colony and would later be a member of the Reichsverband bildender Künstler Deutschlands between 1927 and 1933. A mysterious inscription appears on the back of the painting “Thomassin / Brazil”. If the style of the painting corresponds to the work of the Austrian painter Désiré Thomassin, the inscription "Brazil" could correspond to the destination of the paintings: decirarian paintings painted for a clientele in Brazil. We know that some European painters painted picturesque landscapes of Europe, particularly the Alps, for a wealthy european clientele based in Brazil as a souvenir for them.

  • View of the Bergsee - Oil on Canvas by Josef Brunner - Mid 19th Century
    By Josef Brunner
    Located in Roma, IT
    View of the Bergsee is an original modern artwork realized by the Austrian artist and painter Josef Brunner in the middle of the XIX Century. Original Oil painting on Canvas cm. 72 x 3 x 102 (canvas). A beautiful original XIX Century decorated frame is included (total dimensions: 100 x 5 x 130). Both the work and the canvas are in very good conditions. Beautiful and intense oil painting depicting the Austrian mountain lake Bergsee. The painting is characterized by a particular play between lights and shadows: the light indeed is distributed in an extremely suffused but homogeneous way on the view but it is also able to create that sense of magic that characterized the whole landscape. The color of the lake therefore assumes a transparency and an iridescent blue that tends to the green and reflects the color of the surrounding mountains. The sky appears full of rainy clouds but they still allow the rays of the last sun to shine on. The general vision conveys calm and tranquility thanks also to the refined use of color and the play of lights and shadows, the turquoise and the pale opaque blue of the lake is perfectly emphasized by the various green tones of the trees. The white, gray and light brown rocky mountains embrace the lake and the cloudy sky in shades of blue increases the feeling of tranquility. The landscape is desolate; the only signs of life are the three fishermen on the shore: they are three small figures painted in different poses and illuminated by the light too. The surface of the water reflects in a spectacular way the surrounding landscape, it is similar to the surface of a mirror. The style, fantastic and almost dreamy, is into the full Germanic Romanticism. Mindful of Caspar David Friedrich's memoirs (Greifswald, 1774 - Dresda, 1840), the author certainly took his cue from the style of the German and the Austrian Romanticism; tangible signs of Romantic painting are the choice of the subject, an uncontaminated Nordic landscape, and the almost fairytale atmosphere that we find in the composition. This wonderful Romantic painting was created by the Austrian artist Josef Brunner (Wien, 1826 - Wien, 1893). Joseph Brunner was the son of Joseph...
