Unidentified
"Genre Scene"

19th-century

About the Item

Unidentified Artist (German, 19th Century) Oil on Canvas Framed: 41 × 52 cm Flat: 30 × 40 cm This dramatic and vividly detailed 19th-century oil painting captures the chaotic moment of a stagecoach accident, illustrating both the romanticized and satirical elements of travel mishaps in the 19th century. The scene is filled with movement, expressive figures, and dynamic tension, reminiscent of Biedermeier-era genre paintings, which often depicted everyday life with a mix of realism and theatrical composition. The painting portrays a horse-drawn carriage that has overturned, sending its passengers tumbling to the ground. The coachman struggles to regain control of the panicked horses, while the passengers—both men and women—are caught in various poses of distress and shock. In the background, a distant figure covers their face in horror, adding an element of narrative drama. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail, from the exaggerated expressions of the fallen passengers to the richly textured landscape and clothing, suggests an interest in social commentary and humor. The composition, lighting, and earthy color palette contribute to the painting’s historical charm and period authenticity. Housed in an elegant black and gold floral-carved frame, this piece is an intriguing blend of Romanticism and Realism, making it an ideal addition to collections of historical European art and 19th-century genre scenes. This rare and captivating 19th-century work is an excellent investment for collectors interested in historical narratives and travel-themed artwork. Monogram K.87 in lower right corner
