Adalbert Waagen Munich, 1834 – Bertesgaden, 1898 On the shores of Lake Tegern in Southern Bavaria Oil on panel Signed and dated lower left "A. Waagen. 1857" Located on the reverse "Gegend am Tegern See" 25 x 40 cm (39 x 53 cm with frame) Very good condition Beautiful 19th-century carved and gilded wood frame Adalbert Waagen was a German landscape painter. He painted primarily landscapes, and more specifically mountain landscapes. His style was influenced by his teacher, Zimmermann, through Joseph Anton Koch. Leopold, Prince Regent of Bavaria, bestowed upon him the honorary title of Royal Professor in 1891. His works are held in the Martin von Wagner Museum, the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg, and the Munich City Museum. Waagen first studied with Albert Zimmermann in Munich between 1855 and 1858. Our painting, dated "1857," dates from this period. After completing his studies in 1860, Waagen established his studio in Munich, in the home of his friend Karl Millner. He regularly undertook study trips with Hermann Krüger and other students to the mountains of Old Bavaria and Tyrol. Our painting, in fact, is set in southern Bavaria, "near Lake Tergen." Waagen's style became broader and more realistic at this time, both in its atmosphere and its use of color. Waagen became a central figure in the vibrant artistic circle of "Young Munich," alongside Otto Stöger, Theodor Pixis, Georg Kremplsetzer, August Spieß, Friedrich and Heinrich Lossow...

John Fery (1859 - 1934) Western Lake Landscape, circa 1920 Oil on canvas 21 x 23 1/4 inches Signed lower left Provenance: Private Collection, New York Born in Austria, John Fery earned a strong reputation for dramatic paintings of western mountain landscape in the United States. Glacier National Park in northwest Montana was a popular subject for him. He was raised in a prominent, wealthy family that lived on an estate about nineteen miles northeast of Salzburg. His mother was Hungarian, and his father was born in Bohemia. S ome sources have written that he studied art in Dusseldorf, Germany with Peter Jansen, and also in Munich, Venice and Karlsruhe. But his "name does not appear in the records of the major art schools in any of these places, nor is there any record of his name at either the Vienna or Budapest academies." (Merrill 26) It is possible, however, that he received private instruction, and because of the sophistication of his painting, sources think it unlikely that he was self taught. An early interest in wilderness scenery led him to painting American landscapes and hunting scenes. In the mid 1880s, he came to America and lived in the German community in Milwaukee, and then in 1886, brought his family to the United States. His wife, Mary Rose Kraemer (1862-1940), was born in Switzerland, and they had one child born near Munich and two others born in the United States. From 1886 to 1888, they lived in New York, and by 1890, Fery had made his first trip West. He visited Yellowstone Park in 1891, and indicated in his writings that he had been there even earlier. From 1892 to 1893, he led European nobility on hunting expeditions to the American Northwest, made possible by the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad...
