Golden Pasture
Golden Pasture
Artist: Albert Krüger (1858-1910)
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 17” x 20”
This evocative oil painting captures the tranquil beauty of a seaside landscape with a soft, impressionistic touch. Measuring 10.5” x 13”, the artwork depicts a cluster of buildings perched on a rocky shore, their muted brown and red tones contrasting with the shimmering blues and grays of the water and sky. The artist’s loose brushstrokes create a dreamy atmosphere, with hints of green foliage adding a touch of life to the serene scene. Framed in an elegant gold frame, this piece is in excellent condition, its calming palette and intimate scale making it a perfect addition to any collection.
About the Artist: Engraver and woodcut artist Albert Krüger produced brilliantly rendered copies of the old masters and his contemporaries’ work alike. Working all his professional life in Berlin, Krüger’s talent was indispensable to the publishers and art associations of Germany.
Born in Poland, Krüger moved to Berlin to begin his artistic studies at the Academy of Arts. Here he was taught by numerous artists such as Karl Gussow (1843-1907) and Paul Thumann (1834-1908).
Soon after, Krüger undertook various travels across Europe, travelling to cities such as Amsterdam, Paris, and Munich. In his early years, Krüger worked as a painter. However, upon his return to Berlin, he soon settled working as an etcher and woodcut printer. Here he began to receive numerous commissions asking him to reproduce the works of the old masters, such as Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), and Hans Holbein the Younger (c.1497-1543), as well as contemporary artists such as Max Liebermann (1847-1935).
He conjures in discerning lines the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa, the dignified profiles of Holbein’s sitters. He is able to imitate the depths of colour and shading in the paintings of Da Vinci, capturing rich russet, deep azure. His prints of contemporary work, too, are exquisite examples of the highly detailed, excruciatingly careful efforts etchers would have to undertake.
As a result of his impressive abilities, Krüger was much in demand. His work was often commissioned by publishing houses such as that run by Bruno Cassirer. The German Art Association in Berlin also often required his skills in publications handed out to their members.
Krüger also saw success in exhibitions. He exhibited well in Berlin and received both a commendation and a silver medal at the eminent Paris Salon. He was also awarded a medal for his work in Munich in 1892.
Albert Krüger’s work was essential to the publishing houses and art associations who relied on him to reproduce works of art for print. That he received so many commissions and recognition for exhibiting his works is a testament to his skill.
This piece is in very good condition, consistent with its vintage age, with no obvious signs of wear.
All artwork is sold as found, and we always carefully photograph and highlight any notable signs of age.
