Description

Catalog for the exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle:

Figure and landscape
Works of the 19th century from two private collections in Hamburg
Nov 17, 2023 to March 10, 2024

Edited by Peter Prange and Andreas Stolzenburg

With the exhibition FIGURE AND LANDSCAPE, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is presenting works from two perfectly complementary private collections of 19th century art in the Hanseatic city. The loans come to the Harzen-Kabinett for a one-off visit in order to make them accessible to the general public. The high-quality works, which are otherwise hidden away in private collections, reveal the personal preferences of the collectors: On display are impressive landscape and figure paintings by Italian, French, German and some English artists using a wide variety of artistic techniques. The approximately 100 drawings, watercolors, pastels and smaller paintings - including a series of charming oil studies - date from the late 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century.

The exhibition presents works by the following artists, among others: Oswald Achenbach, Giovanni Battista Bassi, Carl Gustav Carus, Franz Ludwig Catel, Johan Christian Dahl, Simon Denis, Johann Georg von Dillis, Johann Joachim Faber, Thomas Fearnley, Ercole Gigante, François-Marius Granet, Louis Gurlitt, Jakob Philipp Hackert, Henri Harpignies, Ferdinand Hodler, Emil Orlik and Karl Hofer, Franz Kobell, Max Liebermann, August Lucas, Adolph Menzel, Georges Michel, Berthe Morisot, Eugène Le Poittevin, Joseph Rebell, Johann Christian Reinhart, Ludwig Richter, Louise Joséphine Sarazin de Belmont, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, Felix Valloton, Albert Venus, Édouard Vuillard, Robert Thorne Waite and Adrian Zingg.

The development of 19th century art can be experienced in the most beautiful and entertaining way in the varied overview of the 114 works, most of which are published for the first time in the catalog and commented on individually.
