Albert von Keller (1844, Gais – 1920, Munich) The Play Between the Nymph and the Faun An erotically charged scene rendered with bold, sweeping brushstrokes and dramatic chiaroscuro. While the focus is on the nymph’s light-skinned, naked body, the shadowy figure of the faun dissolves into the deep shadows of the background. This small-format, captivating work dates from Keller’s early period and clearly reveals the influence of his teacher, Arthur von Ramberg. During that period, the artist engaged intensively with historical and mythological themes before later turning to his well-known salon portraits and spiritualist motifs. His early work is characterized primarily by this very sketchy, impasto-like, and extremely high-contrast painting style. Oil on cardboard. Signed and dated 1868 in the upper left corner. 12 cm x 23.9 cm. Framed. Oil on cardboard. Signed and dated 1868.
