A Rare and Important Treasure: 11 Oil Painting Panels in a Majestic Fan Shape Signed by Significant 19th-Century Austrian Artists, Featuring Isidor Kaufmann A magnificent and unique artistic achievement, this rare and important assemblage of 11 oil painting panels forms a majestic fan shape, uniting the work of significant 19th-century Austrian artists in a singular, breathtaking display. Each oil on panel is signed by the artist, showcasing a rich variety of subjects—ranging from evocative landscapes to compelling portraits—all rendered in the refined and masterful techniques characteristic of the era. Bringing together the talents of Isidor Kaufmann, Adolf Kaufmann, Carl Reichert, Emma (Edle von Seehof) Müller, Ernst Novak, Johann Hamza, Franz Xavier Kosler, Alfred Ritter von Friedland, Julius Scheuerer, and two unidentified artists, this extraordinary work exemplifies the height of Austrian academic and genre painting during the 19th century. The result is a striking visual composition, where each panel contributes its own narrative while collectively forming a harmonious and grand artistic statement. The Composition: A Masterful Array of Subjects Each panel in this unique fan-shaped arrangement is a masterful example of its respective artist’s expertise: Adolf Kaufmann – A vibrant landscape with animals, displaying the artist’s signature ability to capture nature with emotive depth and atmosphere. (Illegible Artist) – A pastoral scene featuring a horse and carriage, evoking movement and rural charm. Carl Reichert – A charming portrait of a cat, exhibiting the artist’s unparalleled precision in animal portraiture. Emma (Edle von Seehof) Müller – A delicate portrait of a young girl, exuding innocence and elegance. Ernst Novak – A distinguished portrait of a cardinal, characterized by rich color and ecclesiastical grandeur. Johann Hamza – A portrait of a girl with an umbrella, a quintessential representation of 19th-century European genre painting. (Illegible Artist) – A portrait of a man with a cigar, adding a sense of personality and quiet contemplation. Franz Xavier Kosler – A striking portrait of an orientalist lady, reflecting the exoticism and fascination with Eastern culture during the period. Isidor Kaufmann – A profound portrait of a rabbi in a prayer shawl, exemplifying Kaufmann’s reverent approach to Jewish subject matter. Alfred Ritter von Friedland – A captivating farm scene, celebrating rural life with rich detail and warmth. Julius Scheuerer – A tranquil landscape of a farm with chickens, capturing the beauty of nature and rustic life. The composition’s fan shape, an exceedingly rare format in European fine art, enhances the visual impact of each panel, guiding the eye across this spectacular display of Austrian artistic heritage. The Artists: Masters of 19th-Century Austrian Painting Adolf Kaufmann (1848–1916) A celebrated Austrian landscape painter, Kaufmann was known for his romanticized views of nature, often incorporating animals and serene rural settings. He was active in Vienna and Paris and exhibited at prestigious salons across Europe. Carl Reichert (1836–1918) Renowned for his exquisite animal portraiture, particularly of dogs and cats, Reichert’s attention to detail and lifelike rendering made him one of Austria’s most sought-after painters in this genre. Emma (Edle von Seehof) Müller (1859–1925) A distinguished Austrian portraitist, Müller’s works often depicted aristocratic and bourgeois subjects with grace and realism, showcasing refined brushwork and emotional depth. Ernst Novak (fl. late 19th century) Known for his skill in ecclesiastical and academic portraiture, Novak frequently painted religious figures, capturing their dignity and presence with precision. Johann Hamza (1850–1927) A genre painter celebrated for his charming domestic and street scenes, Hamza’s works often depicted daily life with warmth, intricate detail, and narrative richness. Franz Xavier Kosler (1864–1905) Kosler specialized in orientalist portraits, having traveled extensively through Egypt and the Middle East. His works are prized for their vivid colors and ethnographic accuracy. Isidor Kaufmann (1853–1921) One of the most esteemed Jewish portrait painters of his time, Kaufmann is best known for his deeply evocative and meticulously detailed depictions of Eastern European Jewish life, particularly rabbis and scholars. Alfred Ritter von Friedland (1860–1923) A master of rural and animal scenes, von Friedland’s works often highlighted the symbiotic relationship between farmers and their surroundings, imbuing them with warmth and realism. Julius Scheuerer (1859–1913) An esteemed animal and landscape painter, Scheuerer was famous for his pastoral scenes featuring birds and livestock, executed with remarkable accuracy and charm. A Singular Masterpiece of Austrian Fine Art This majestic fan-shaped composition, combining the talents of some of the most significant Austrian painters of the 19th century, is a museum-worthy treasure of extraordinary rarity and importance.
