Hubert Sattler
Mountain and lake a fresh Swiss summer holiday, boats on Lake Lucerne miniature

circa 1890

About the Item

In German, there is a word called "Sommefrische" , meaning summer freshness, which describes this painting perfectly. Looking at this Swiss mountain and lake is like a perfect, restful holiday, a breath of fresh air, a welcome change of scenery. The lake you see is in fact Lake Lucerne, and the building to the right on its shore is the Grand Hotel Waltstätterhof, in existence to this day. A postcard-sized miniature yet grandiose, the painting by Hubert Sattler, signed with his psydonym Stähly-Rychen. According to Wikipedia Sattler (1817 – 1904) worked under the pseudonyms Louis Ritschard, E. Grossen, and Stähly-Rychen. He was born in Salzburg, Austria. His father, Johann Michael Sattler, was also a landscape painter and his first teacher. Sattler then attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna at the age of 12. Sattler's highly sought after work is characterised by a high level of detail, and his paintings were displayed under lights in a dark room to customers looking through an aperture and often a magnifying lens. He painted landscapes in many European countries, and also the Near East and Latin America. His views were unusually accurate and up to date.
