J. FISCHBACH (*1797), Alpine panorama, landscape, Pencil Johann Fischbach (1797 Grafenegg (Lower Austria) - 1871 Munich): Alpine panorama, landscape, 19th century, Pencil Technique: Pencil and Indian ink on Paper Stamp: Collector's stamp, Georg und Dr. F. Wilhelm Denzel. Munich. 20th century, 19th century Inscription: Illegibly labelled lower right. Date: 19th century Description: The picture shows an expansive landscape that stretches from a rocky foreground to a hilly backdrop with gentle elevations. In the foreground, large rocks are outlined in detail, giving the image a natural texture. The middle level consists of lightly wooded areas that merge into the background where high, slightly hinted mountain peaks are visible on the horizon. The composition is balanced and utilises a subtle diagonal running from bottom left to top right to create depth of space. The lighting is soft, with slight shading modelling the shape of the landscape. The drawing conveys a calm, tranquil atmosphere and uses fine lines to depict the natural scenery.
