Landscape Painter, Abstracted Alpine Landscape with Snow-capped Peak in Ornate Frame, 20th Century Oil on canvas, unsigned, 20th century, abstracted alpine landscape, snow-capped mountain peak against a blue-grey sky with light veils of cloud, below it hills painted in sweeping strokes and a foreground in grey, brown, violet and rust red with yellow highlights, good age-appropriate condition, retouching, partial craquelure, image 39.5x30 cm (HxW), framed in a gold-coloured ornate frame with relief leaf frieze, frame slightly chipped, frame width 5.5 cm Mountain painting matured in the 19th century into a genre of its own, whose pictures were readily bought by travellers and long served as a status symbol and proof of the mountain journey. Painters such as Edward Theodore Compton, in Munich from 1869, created hundreds of mountain subjects and shaped the image of the high mountains in mountain painting into the 20th century; this small mountain picture in its ornate frame continues the alpine landscape as a cabinet picture with abstracted forms. German Description Landschaftsmaler, Abstrahierte alpine Landschaft mit schneebedecktem Gipfel im Zierrahmen, 20. Jh. Öl/Leinwand, unsigniert, 20. Jh., abstrahierte alpine Landschaft, schneebedeckter Berggipfel vor blaugrauem Himmel mit hellen Wolkenschleiern, darunter in Schwüngen gemalte Hügel und ein Vordergrund in Grau, Braun, Violett und Rostrot mit gelben Lichtakzenten, altersgemäß guter Zustand, Retuschen, partiell Krakelee, Darstellung 39,5x30 cm (HxB), gerahmt in goldfarbenem Zierrahmen mit reliefiertem Blattfries, Rahmen leicht bestoßen, Rahmenbreite 5,5 cm Die Gebirgsmalerei reifte im 19. Jh. zu einer eigenen Gattung, deren Bilder gern von Reisenden gekauft wurden und lange als Statussymbol und Beweis der Bergreise galten. Maler wie Edward Theodore Compton, seit 1869 in München, schufen Hunderte von Bergmotiven und prägten bis ins 20. Jh. hinein das Bild des Hochgebirges in der Gebirgsmalerei; das kleine Bergbild im Zierrahmen setzt die Alpenlandschaft als Kabinettbild mit abstrahierten Formen fort.
