Martin Wirth, "Kleinstadt im Böhmerwald", view over gardens to steeple and mountains, Šumava, 1983 (1939 – 2017 Ilsenburg), watercolour on paper, unsigned, inscribed and dated verso "Kleinstadt im Böhmerwald (ČSR) 1983", view across a garden meadow with trees to a house with red gabled roof and dormer, in front brownish-red wooden sheds, beyond a church with tall pointed tower, clock and side turrets, wooded blue mountains in the background, good condition commensurate with age, paper slightly yellowed, image 24x32 cm (HxW) The forested range of Šumava, German Böhmerwald (Bohemian Forest), separates Bohemia from Bavaria and Austria; large parts of the Czech side today form the Šumava National Park. Since the Middle Ages glassmaking has shaped the region, from which glassworks such as Lötz, Kralik and Meyr's Neffe later emerged. The landscape is familiar from the stories of Adalbert Stifter, and Carl Maria von Weber's opera "Der Freischütz" is set there. At the time the sheet was made, the Czech part of the range belonged to Czechoslovakia. German Description Martin Wirth, „Kleinstadt im Böhmerwald“, Blick über Gärten auf Kirchturm und Berge, Šumava, 1983 (1939 – 2017 Ilsenburg), Aquarell/Papier, unsigniert, verso bezeichnet und datiert „Kleinstadt im Böhmerwald (ČSR) 1983“, Blick über eine Gartenwiese mit Bäumen auf ein Haus mit rotem Satteldach und Dachgaube, davor braunrote Holzschuppen, dahinter eine Kirche mit hohem spitzem Turm, Turmuhr und Seitentürmchen, im Hintergrund bewaldete blaue Berge, altersgemäß guter Zustand, Papier leicht gegilbt, Darstellung 24x32 cm (HxB) Das Waldgebirge Šumava, deutsch Böhmerwald, trennt Böhmen von Bayern und Österreich; große Teile der tschechischen Seite bilden heute den Nationalpark Šumava. Seit dem Mittelalter prägte die Glasherstellung die Region, aus der später Hütten wie Lötz, Kralik und Meyr's Neffe hervorgingen. Die Landschaft kennt man aus den Erzählungen Adalbert Stifters, und Carl Maria von Webers Oper „Der Freischütz“ spielt dort. Zur Entstehungszeit des Blatts gehörte der tschechische Teil des Gebirges zur Tschechoslowakei.
