Summer Landscape With Birches By Austrian Master Gollob Early 20th Century Oil

Heinrich Gollob (1886 - 1917) - Austrian painter. Gollob's attention to detail demonstrates his talent for bringing landscapes to life through vibrant colors, textures and the play of light and shadow. In the foreground on the right is a majestic birch tree, its branches gracefully spreading across almost the entire space of the canvas. In the center of the painting, a road winds across the stage, with a female figure and a cart, leading the viewer's eye to the distant horizon. On the left, a foothill valley with houses. The sunny day depicted in the painting adds a sense of warmth and calm to the scene. The composition of the painting, creates a sense of depth and perspective that draws the viewer into the scene. Unfortunately, Gollob's life was cut short, preventing him from achieving widespread recognition in the art world. However, his legacy lives on through pieces like this one, which exemplify his artistic prowess. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed lower right, framed.

H. Gollob learned the lithograph in Matthey Art Institute in Graz, then moved to Italy, where he decided to become a painter. He was a student in Munich at G. Hackl and K. Marr, in Vienna with Delug (s.d.) and Rumpler, and finally in Graz with A. Schrötter and A. Zopf, where he particularly cared for the floral still life. On a trip to Spain in 1912 he married the painter Hanna von Reininghaus. From 1912 to 1914 he participated in 4 exhibitions “Ausstellung der Vereinigung bildender Künstler Österreichs Secession” with overall 16 oil works. Then moved to Vienna, where he met with the English painter Gordon MacCouth was a close friend. His daring nature tempted him to romantic, often dangerous adventures such as a horse ride to Albania, etc. After a short period of service as a dragoon and after a few months of creative work in the baroque palace of a Reiner abbot in Straßegel, he took his own life.
