1881

About the Item

Simplicius at the Hermit's Grave- Simplicius am Grabe des Einsiedlers (plate VIII) belongs to a series of prints called Intermezzi realized by Max Klinger, published by Nurnberg: Stroefer, 1881. Etching on paper. Signed on the plate Good conditions. Dedicated to the engraver and art dealer Hermann Sagert who had supported the publication of the young artist's works. Intermezzi by Max Klinger offers a wide assortment of entertainment, such as short comic interludes between scenes of an opera. The portfolio highlights the capriciousness of life and includes a sequence of four prints on the mythological lives of centaurs, four prints based on Hans Jakob Christoph von Grimmelshausen's 17th-century tale The Adventurous Simplicissimus, and four free compositions that further elaborate Klinger's favorite themes of desire, death and fantasy. The twelve etchings vary in size and format, but all reveal sublime panoramas and demonstrate Klinger's mastery of the vocabulary of romantic landscapes and the lessons learned from studying Japanese prints.
