Published in the year of Wilhelm Leibl's death, this portfolio comprises eleven sheets removed from the original plates. It represents a significant portion of his body of work, consisting of nineteen etchings. Thus, it pays homage to the etcher Leibl.
Inspired by Rembrandt, the images feature strong contrasts of light and dark, lending them a mysterious quality and robust character. These qualities form the basis for Leibl's masterful precision in capturing the motifs.
About the artist
Wilhelm Leibl first studied art with Franz Everhard Bourel and Hermann Heinrich Becker in Cologne. From 1863 to 1869, he attended the Munich Art Academy, where he became a master student of Karl von Piloty. While still a student, he created his work Frau Gedon, which was exhibited in Munich's Glaspalast in 1869 and earned him international admiration. After becoming aware of Leibl, Gustave Courbet invited him to Paris, where he socialized with German artists Hans Thoma, Louis Eysen, and Otto Scholderer, and discovered the art of Édouard Manet. While in Paris, Leibl won the Salon's gold medal for "Frau Gedon," a painting that had already been praised in Munich the previous year. The outbreak of war forced Leibl to return to Munich, where a circle of artists formed around him, including Wilhelm Trübner, Carl Schuch, Theodor Alt, Karl Haider, and Hans Thoma for a time. Leibl retired to the countryside outside Munich in 1873. It was during this time that he became involved in printmaking.Between 1873 and 1877, he produced a total of twelve etchings. In 1878, Leibl moved to Chiemgau and first settled in Berbling. Then, in 1881, he moved to Aibling. In 1893, he moved to Kutterling with the artist Johann Sperl. Following the first public purchases of his work, he was awarded the title of professor in 1891 and became an honorary member of the Berlin Academy in 1893. However, Leibl did not work as a university lecturer. In 1898, he traveled to Holland with the art dealer Ernst Seeger, where he studied the works of Frans Hals and Rembrandt in detail. These artists were important to him.
Due to his choice of motifs and their precise design, Wilhelm Leibl is considered the most important representative of German realism.

- Mappe im oberen Bereich fleckig und insgesamt etwas stockfleckig, Radierungen in sehr gutem Zustand
- Atmosphärische Prägnanz -
Die in Wilhelm Leibls Todesjahr erschienene Mappe umfasst mit 11 von den Originalplatten abgezogenen Blätter einen großen Teil seines insgesamt 19 Radierungen zählenden druckgraphischen Oeuvres und ist damit eine Hommage an den Radierer Leibl.
In einer an Rembrandt geschulten Weise entfalten die Bilder starke Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste, die ihnen etwas geheimnisvoll Diffuses, zugleich aber auch einen harten Charakter verleihen, der die Grundlage für Leibls meisterhafte Präzision darstellt, mit der er die Motive konkretisiert.
zum Künstler
Nach einem ersten Zeichenuntereicht bei Franz Everhard Bourel und Hermann Heinrich Becker in Köln studierte Wilhelm Leibl von 1863 bis 1869 an der Münchner Kunstakademie und wurde dort Meisterschüler von Karl von Piloty. Sein noch als Student geschaffenen Werk ‚Frau Gedon’, das 1869 im Münchener Glaspalast ausgestellt wurde, brachte ihm internationale Bewunderung ein. Gustave Courbet wurde auf Leibl aufmerksam und lud ihn nach Paris ein, wo er neben Courbet mit den deutschen Künstlern Hans Thoma, Louis Eysen und Otto Scholderer verkehrte und die Kunst Édouard Manets entdeckte. In Paris gewann Leibl die Goldmedaille des Salons für sein bereits im Jahr zuvor in München gerühmtes Gemälde ‚Frau Gedon‘. Durch den Kriegsausbruch war Leibl gezwungen, nach München zurückzukehren, wo sich um seine Person der Leibl-Kreis etablierte, zu dem unter anderen Wilhelm Trübner, Carl Schuch, Theodor Alt, Karl Haider und zeitweilig auch Hans Thoma gehörten. 1873 zog sich Leibl aus München aufs Land zurück. In diese Zeit fällt seine Beschäftigung mit der Druckgrafik. Zwischen 1873 und 1877 fertigt er insgesamt 12 Radierungen an. 1878 zog Leibl in den Chiemgau und ließ sich zunächst in Berbling, 1881 in Aibling und 1893, gemeinsam mit dem Künstler Johann Sperl, in Kutterling nieder. Nach ersten öffentlichen Ankäufen seiner Werke wurde ihm 1891 der Professorentitel verliehen und 1893 erfolgte die Ernennung zum Ehrenmitglied der Berliner Akademie. Leibl wurde allerdings nicht als Hochschullehrer tätig. Gemeinsam mit dem Kunsthändler Ernst Seeger reiste er 1898 nach Holland, wo er nochmals eingehend die Werke der für ihn wichtigen Künstler Frans Hals und Rembrandt studierte.
Mit der Auswahl seiner Motive und ihrer präzisen modellierten Gestaltung gilt Wilhelm Leibl als wichtigster Vertreter der deutschen Ausprägung des Realismus.

Agony - The architecture of decay -
Located in Berlin, DE
Jörg Olberg (*1956 Dresden), Agony, 1987. etching, E.A. (edition of 30), 24 x 17 cm (image), 46 x 37 cm (sheet), each signed in pencil lower right "Olberg" and dated "IX [19]87", inscribed lower left "E.A. [Epreuve d'Artiste]".

- The architecture of decay -
About the artwork
Jörg Olberg draws here the sum of his artistic study of the Berlin ruins, which were still present in the cityscape well into the 80s. With his work "Agony" he creates an allegory of decay. Positioned in the landscape of ruins, a ruined house grows before the viewer, rising like the Tower of Babel into the sky, its roof and gable brightly illuminated by the sun. But already the roof shows mostly only the rafters, and as the gaze is drawn further down, the building visibly disintegrates, the beams protruding in all directions looking like splintered bones. Slowly but inexorably - in agony - the house will collapse in on itself and become nothing more than the burial mound of itself. At the same time, the small-scale stone composition and the plaster form a pattern-like ornamentation of decay.
The tension in the picture is fed by the counter-movement of growth and collapse, which is heightened by the dramatic formation of clouds. The swirls of clouds are reminiscent of a world landscape...
