6129 - Duntze, Johannes Bartholomäus

Duntze, Johannes Bartholomäus View across the Weser floodplains toward Bremen; on the right, the parsonage of Rablingshausen. Oil on canvas, mounted on another canvas. 17 x 31.3 cm. Inscribed on the back of the stretcher as “Study by J. Duntze 1823–1895” and “RABLINGSHAUSEN The Meadow in Front of the Rectory—In the Background: Bremen.” Duntze studied at the Munich Academy beginning in 1838 and was subsequently trained as a private student of Wilhelm August Leopold Krause in Berlin. During his travels through Belgium, Holland, the Rhineland, Tyrol, and Norway, he found the subjects for his winter and mountain landscapes. This painting likely depicts a more personal subject: a view across the Weser River from the artist’s birthplace. Provenance: From the artist’s estate. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
