About the Item
Mountainous Landscape with a Stone Bridge (1856) This painting by Austrian artist Richard Maerz (1810–1871) depicts a dramatic mountainous landscape. A stone bridge arches high above a deep ravine, with a waterfall cascading below. Two figures meet at the center of the bridge, adding a human element to the vast natural setting. Trees cling to the steep sides of the ravine, emphasizing the rugged terrain. The painting is signed and dated "R. MAERZ 1856."
Richard Maerz (1810–1871) was an Austrian painter active in the mid-19th century. While specific details about his life and career are scarce, his work aligns with the Romantic tradition prevalent in German and Austrian art during that period. His landscapes often feature dramatic natural scenes, highlighting the sublime beauty and power of nature. The 1856 painting "Mountainous Landscape with a Stone Bridge" exemplifies his focus on the interplay between human figures and imposing natural environments.
During the second and third quarters of the 19th century, Romanticism significantly influenced German and Austrian painting. Artists like Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Spitzweg played pivotal roles in shaping this movement.
Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) is renowned for his allegorical landscapes that often feature contemplative figures set against expansive natural backdrops. His work emphasizes the emotional and spiritual connection between humans and nature.
Carl Spitzweg (1808–1885), another prominent figure, is known for his genre paintings that often incorporate elements of Romanticism. His works frequently depict solitary figures in intimate settings, reflecting on the human condition and the beauty of everyday life.
The Düsseldorf School of painting also emerged during this time, characterized by finely detailed landscapes and a focus on plein air painting. This movement contributed to the development of Romantic landscape painting in Germany and Austria.
In Austria, artists like Moritz von Schwind and Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller contributed to the Romantic movement by incorporating nationalistic themes and focusing on the idyllic aspects of Austrian life and landscapes.
Overall, German and Austrian Romantic painters of the 19th century sought to capture the emotional depth and spiritual resonance of the natural world, often portraying humans as small figures within vast, awe-inspiring landscapes.

Landscape with Horses and Farmers, Oil on Canvas, Painted 1898.
Located in Stockholm, SE
A fine landscape with horses resting by some trees and some farmers working the soil by Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (1850 - 1908). Oil on canvas. Signed with monogram "FH" and dated 1898.
Henningsen was a Danish painter and draftsman.
In 1870, he was admitted to C. V. Nielsen's drawing school and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, from which he received his graduation certificate in 1875. As early as 1874, he exhibited his first work, a portrait of actress Julie Sødring, and he was subsequently represented at almost all Spring Exhibitions. He exhibited at Charlottenborg between 1875-1905 and also did exhibitions in Stockholm, Berlin and Paris. He showed great skill in many different areas, e.g. portrait painting, animal painting, landscape painting, genre painting and illustrations. Immediately after the academy, he traveled with academy scholarships to Germany, later to France in 1877-1878, where he applied to Léon Bonnat's school in Paris, and from where in the spring of 1878 he made a trip to Spain together with P.S. Krøyer, Frans Schwartz...
