About the Item
German Impressionist Painting of Rio de Janeiro's Guanabara Bay and Sugarloaf Mountain in style of Max Slevogt
This vivid landscape painting offers a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro, dramatically capturing the topography and natural beauty of Guanabara Bay. The composition is dominated by an expanse of deep, swirling blue water, framed by the iconic rounded granite peaks, including Sugarloaf Mountain to the right. In the foreground, the viewer looks down over a colorful cluster of red-roofed houses nestled amid lush green tropical vegetation. Two stylized trees anchor the foreground—one with distinctive blue-gray foliage and the other with looser, expressive strokes—providing a sense of framing. balance and perspective. The brushwork throughout is lively and textured, particularly in the sky and water, where thick impasto suggests shifting clouds and wind-ruffled waves. The palette is reminiscent of Marc Chagall and Alexei von Jawlensky combining cool cerulean and viridian tones with warm accents of ochre, crimson, and lemon yellow, producing a vibrant, almost fauvist impression. This piece reflects the artist's affection for the Brazilian landscape, capturing its tropical lushness and coastal drama with a bold, emotive hand.
The bottom left bears a bold red monogram “M S,” applied in small block letters of vermillion red

Max Slevogt, together with Max Liebermann and Lovis Corinth formed the triumvirate of German Impressionists. Based in Berlin and Munich, Slevogt was a regular exhibitor at the Berlin Secession. In the 1920s Slevogt spent many summers in the Palatinate, where he enjoyed painting en plein air. Slevogt studied at the Munich Academy from 1885-1889 and at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1889.
However, it wasn't until Slevogt visited the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris where he saw the works of the French Impressionists that his painterly style changed dramatically. Until 1900 Slevogt's paintings were executed in a sombre, naturalistic style. Following his visit to the exhibition Slevogt increasingly turned to plein air landscape painting, developing a new, impressionist style of painting with vivid colours and thick, lively brush strokes. These became the hallmark of his mature style.
