Lot information
The work of Ferdinand Engelmuller, called "Autumn Park", is a proof of his masterful processing of the landscape and sensitive perception of nature. The work depicts a park scenery with a distinctive sculpture on a stone plinth, set in a late autumn environment, when the trees are already losing their leaves and nature is preparing for winter. The dilapidated architecture of the railings, covered with colorful vines, creates a subtle contrast between man and nature. The sculpture, apparently allegorical or mythological, can represent scenes of love or the relationship between deities and people, which was a frequent motif of park sculpture during the Baroque and Classicism periods. Such statues often decorated aristocratic parks, where they symbolized the harmony between the human world and nature. The painting evokes nostalgia for a bygone era and combines romantic melancholy with realistic painting. Engelmuller's landscapes stand out for their atmosphere, precise technique and ability to convey to the viewer a feeling of quiet contemplation, which has won them popularity among collectors and art lovers.
