Josef Brunner – View Of Wolfgangsee And Schafberg, Salzkammergut – Oil On Panel 1871
Artist: Josef Brunner
A charming oil on panel depicting a picturesque view of Wolfgangsee, a famous alpine lake in the Salzkammergut region of Austria. The composition shows a rocky shorelined with slender pines overlooking the calm waters of the lake, while in the background rises the iconic Schafberg massif, a prominent peak dominating the landscape. The scene is enlivened by a small figure in the foreground, adding a narrative dimension and providing scale to the landscape. The artist uses a warm and subtle palette, contrasting the deep shadows of the foreground with the golden light illuminating the distant mountains, creating a calm and contemplative atmosphere characteristic of 19th-century Austrian landscape painting. The painting is signed and dated 1871. On the reverse of the panel is an old handwritten label reading: "Josef Brunner – Vienna, Salzgries 16 – Part of Wolfgangsee – for sale," confirming the subject of the painting as well as the artist's Viennese address. An Austrian painter active in the 19th century, Josef Brunner is known for his Alpine landscapes and picturesque views of sites much appreciated by travelers of the time. Technique: Oil on panel. Dimensions: 29 × 23 cm (excluding frame). Date: 1871. Presented in an elegant antique gilt frame.
