Description
Karl Raupp, 1837 Darmstadt – 1918 München
BOAT ON THE LAKESHORE Oil on cardboard. 34 x 50 cm. Signed "K. Raupp" lower right. In gilded decorated frame. An old boat has been leaned against the shallow water at the edge of the Chiemsee, the opposite shore can be seen in the distance. The diffuse sunlight casts light shadows and also makes the surface of the water shimmer. Atmospheric depiction, with rapid brushwork and a naturalistic color palette. Raupp preferred to paint atmospheric pictures in which landscape and staffage are in balance, and preferably motifs from the lives of fishermen and country folk on Lake Chiemsee. He was also known as the "Chiemsee-Raupp" because of this subject matter and founded a painters' colony on Fraueninsel, where he spent the summer months from 1869. Small retouching in the lower area.
