April Evening
April Evening
Artist: Alfred Bachmann (1863-1956)
Medium: Pastel on Panel, dated 1919
Dimensions: 21” x 17.5”
This is a serene and atmospheric pastel landscape painting, capturing the quiet majesty of a coastal scene at either sunrise or sunset. The scene features a wide, calm body of water—likely a bay or coastal shore—reflecting a moody sky filled with layered clouds. A distant shoreline with a barely visible silhouette of a lighthouse or tower adds a sense of depth and isolation. The artist beautifully renders the sky with soft gradations of blues, greys, and golden peach tones. Light filters through the clouds, hinting at the golden hour—just after sunrise or before sunset—creating a peaceful glow that gently touches the water below. The stillness of the water is emphasized by the delicate mirror effect, reflecting the colors and forms of the sky almost perfectly. This adds to the tranquil and contemplative quality of the piece. The use of pastel is evident in the velvety texture and subtle blending of color. The medium allows for a soft diffusion of light and form, which contributes to the dreamlike quality.
About the Artist: Alfred August Felix Bachmann was a German Orientalist painter who became a student of Max Schmidt at the Art Academy of Königsberg. He traveled to the North Sea islands, Sicily, Normandy, Portugal and Tenerife to improve his studies and studies. He moved to Munich in 1891, and then moved to Ambach in 1941. In his works, he concentrated mainly on coastal landscapes. Since 1887, he regularly participated in exhibitions held in Munich Glaspalast.
This painting is in very good condition, consistent with its vintage age, with no obvious signs of wear. The original, 100+ year old frame is in fair condition, as to be expected. It shows signs of being reworked and retouched. We believe that original, vintage frames add a rich patina to the overall effect of the work.
All artwork is sold as found, and we always carefully photograph and highlight any notable signs of age.
