Carl Wuttke,
German 1849-1927-
Figures on a path in a mountainous landscape;
oil on paper, signed 'C. Wuttke' (lower left), 17.8 x 25 cm.
Note:
Wuttke produced striking works from his travels across Europe and further afield, including the United States in 1893, and China and Japan in 1898. He also travelled to North Africa, visiting Algeria, Egypt, and Sudan, and it is from these experiences that many of his most significant and recognisable works originate. The present work is characteristic of Wuttke's style, exhibiting his bold use of colour, with the purple hues of the peaks on the horizon evoking the aridity of the mountain landscape, whilst his loose application of paint to depict the train of figures creating a palpable sense of activity and movement.
