Full Description
Carl Graeb was among the most acclaimed 19th-century artists. His fine brushstrokes, impressive attention to detail, and skilful use of light enabled him to create architectural and landscape paintings that have continued to fascinate people to this day. They became popular collector's items, which is why Graeb's patrons included families of the high-ranking nobility in Germany and Europe, who entrusted him with prestigious commissions. This publication shows one of his most extensive series, a watercolour cycle featuring Muskauer Park, created for Prince Frederick of the Netherlands between 1855 and around 1859. His bold colours and skilful use of light captured ephemeral moments for eternity that were celebrated by his contemporaries as a 'poetry of light'.
