Georg Wolf
"Very Large Draft Horse Standing in a Barn" Georg Wolf (German, 1882-1962)

Circa 1910

About the Item

“A Very Large Draft Standing Horse in the Stable” Georg Wolf (Alsace/Germany 1882-1962) Oil on canvas 39 1/2 x 21 1/2 (50 1/4 x 42 1/4 frame) inches Estate stamp and inventory No. 178 on the back of the frame.  This very large canvas creates an emphasis on the massiveness of the draft horse. This depiction is deftly handled with an interesting palette developed with myriad complementary and colors and confident brushstrokes. Wolf was a master of his craft. The emphasis on the horse's gargantuan size is so great that it barely fits in the volume of the frame. The exquisite brushwork and use of layers of complementary and contrasting color gives a tremendous sense of depth and palpable sense of life. The execution light and shadow of the horse's coat has an incredible almost life-like sheen much like a recently brushed horse. A German animal and landscape painter from the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Wolf was a master student of Professor Julius Paul Junghanns who then continued his studies at the Heinrich von Zugel Animal Painting School from 1909-1914. Americans studying at the Dusseldorf School included George Caleb Bingham, Albert Bierstadt, Eastman Johnson, et. al
