About the Item
This early 20th-century mixed media by K & K Hof Atelier Pietzner of Vienna depicts a respectable family within a neoclassical garden setting.
With the advent of photography, affluent homeowners sought to decorate their walls with portraits of their loved ones and by the end of the 19th century, it had become a booming industry. As such, each photography pioneer continually embraced new technologies to satisfy the whims of their eager patrons. Newspapers throughout this period are awash with advertisements by inventive studios - each proclaiming to offer improved fidelity via enhanced techniques.
Internationally-celebrated Austrian, Karl Pietzner (1853-1927), was a particularly creative photographer and known for his involvement with K & K Hof Atelier Pietzner. One of his offerings involved producing enlargements, which were then overpainted in watercolours, pastels or oils. Using this method, he produced a portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I, which was subsequently exhibited in 1898.
Here, in this piece from 1900, Pietzner’s Atelier has adopted a hybrid, collage, technique and placed tinted photographic cutouts into a garden setting painted in watercolour and gouache. It’s possibly the family’s estate or simply a grandiose backdrop for their diverse range of stances. The overall effect is rather splendid with the crispness of the figures juxtaposed against a misty idyll.

Paul Sandby Munn RWS, Mallevy, Merioneth, North Wales, Watercolour
Located in Cheltenham, GB
This early 19th-century watercolour by British artist Paul Sandby Munn RWS (1773-1845) depicts a riverside view at Mallevy in North Wales.
Amid a hasty world where technology consumes our waking hours, few of us find the time to consider the subtle beauties of quiet watercolours. Yet, during the late 18th century, when Munn began producing his skillfully-rendered views, this style of drawing was considered an act of rebellion. Indeed, to such an extent that, together with several associates, Munn contributed to one of the most vital artistic circles in British history - the “Brothers” sketching club.
Held every Saturday, the sketching club sought to raise the status of landscape watercolours from their lowly position as mere copies of nature. Fellow artists such as John Varley, Thomas Girtin and John Sell Cotman...
