E. Spiller, View of the Brocken, large Harz landscape with forest track, oil painting Oil on canvas, signed lower right. Wide-format forest landscape: a light-coloured track leads from the foreground between tall spruce trunks towards a sunlit clearing; beyond, the view opens across wooded ridges to the distant summit of the Brocken. The sky blue with bright banks of cloud, the meadows in strong green, the trunks set in brown and grey against the light. Age-appropriate condition, craquelure, small partial areas of paint loss. Image 60 x 120.5 cm (HxW). At 1,141 metres the Brocken is the highest mountain in the Harz and in northern Germany. From the 18th century onwards it attracted travellers, naturalists and painters; Goethe first climbed it in 1777 and gave it a literary monument in the Walpurgis Night scene of 'Faust'. The view of its characteristic summit, often veiled in haze, became a standard motif of Harz painting. German Description E. Spiller, Brockenblick, großformatige Harzlandschaft mit Waldweg und Fichten, Ölgemälde Öl/Leinwand, unten rechts signiert. Breitformatige Waldlandschaft: ein heller Fahrweg führt aus dem Vordergrund zwischen hohen Fichtenstämmen hindurch auf eine sonnenbeschienene Lichtung; dahinter öffnet sich der Blick über bewaldete Bergrücken auf die ferne Kuppe des Brockens. Der Himmel blau mit hellen Wolkenbänken, die Wiesenflächen in kräftigem Grün, die Stämme in Braun und Grau gegen das Licht gesetzt. Altersgemäßer Zustand, Krakelee, partiell kleine Farbfehlstellen. Darstellung 60 x 120,5 cm (HxB). Der Brocken ist mit 1.141 Metern der höchste Berg des Harzes und Norddeutschlands. Seit dem 18. Jh. zog er Reisende, Naturforscher und Maler an; Goethe bestieg ihn erstmals 1777 und setzte ihm in der Walpurgisnachtszene des „Faust" ein literarisches Denkmal. Der Blick auf die charakteristische, oft in Dunst liegende Kuppe wurde zu einem festen Motiv der Harzmalerei.
