About the Item

Original 1861 Late Romantic Naturalist Landscape Painting This piece features a small countryside cottage and two figures, with the dramatic backdrop of layered mountains and low clouds, blending elements of romanticism, naturalism, and realism. In the foreground, a man in traditional clothing walks along a path marked off by a handmade fence. Down the hill from him, a woman stands in front of a small cottage. Hills covered in evergreens roll into the distance, eventually meeting a river valley before transitioning to more dramatic mountains. The clouds have soft warm hues, mimicking the light present on the path and some of the trees in the foreground. Delicate and lively brushstrokes are particularly visible in the foreground. Canvas size: 24" H x 29.75" W Signed in bottom left corner: "Schmidt 1861" This piece appears to be an early piece by Christian Alexander Schmidt (Danish b. 1842 d. 1903.) The signature appears to match those found on his pieces, with the style of the S and the 8 being particularly good matches. This would have been an early work of his, completed when he was 19 years old. Aspects which are refined in his later works, such as the use of heavy layering in the perspective and the delicate handling of leaves and foliage, appear in less developed forms here.

With realistic composition, they depicted romantic views of unsettled areas of the Hudson River Valley especially lakes, rocky gorges, and forests in the Catskill Mountains.
