6094 - Faber, Eusebius Johann Theodor

Faber, Eusebius Johann Theodor View across fields toward the old village church in Plauen near Dresden. Oil on wood. 19.2 x 24.5 cm. Signed and dated on the reverse: "E. Faber. fec [1]817". Eusebius Faber received his training at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts under Karl Ludwig Kaaz and Johann Christian Klengel, where he devoted himself primarily to genre and landscape painting. From 1811 to 1850, his works were regularly featured in the academy’s exhibitions in Dresden. The painting depicts the old village church of Plauen—now a district of Dresden—as it appeared in the 18th century. Faber’s teacher, Johann Christian Klengel, also captured the village church of Plauen in a charming painting (Freies Deutsches Hochstift, Frankfurt am Main), and in Ludwig Richter’s 1847 pen-and-ink drawing “Kartoffelfeuer” (Dresden, State Art Collections), the church building appears in the background. - We ask that you request condition reports for the lots, as the condition is listed in the catalog only in exceptional cases. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
