Description

Cornelius Wagner, Das Bergkirchli in Arosa View from an elevated position of the famous Bergkirchli in the Graubünden climatic health resort of Arosa, completed in 1493, next to farmhouses, against a sublime high mountain backdrop in deep snowy splendour and bright sunlight, The atmospheric, impasto impressionist landscape painting in finely tuned colours, initially adhering to heavy academic painting, Wagner soon found his way to a light, sometimes colour-intensive impressionism, Although he was inclined towards the depiction of seascapes and river landscapes throughout his life, the artist's enthusiasm for his own experiences on his travels rarely resulted in beautiful landscape depictions such as the present motif from Arosa, where Wagner probably stayed several times between 1917 and 1919 - due to the dating of the motifs he created there, oil on canvas and stretcher, signed, inscribed and dated "Cornelius Wagner Arosa 19.", minor craquelure, stretcher somewhat showing through, minor restoration required, unframed, dimensions approx. 45.5 x 65 cm.
