Anton Rausch (1882 Fladungen/Rhön – 1939 Munich) was a German painter who trained in Nuremberg and at the renowned Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. His artistic work was characterized by religious themes and landscapes, with significant influence from the German Renaissance masters Dürer (etchings) and Lucas Cranach. Starting with etchings and later in painting, he developed his own style, which is characterized by romanticized depictions, religious motifs, and pronounced light and shadow effects. His longing for his former home in the Rhön (which, according to tradition, he is said to have thought about at least ten times a day and more) was often reflected in his landscape paintings until the end of his life.
Rausch's most frequent motif was the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus, which earned him the popular title of “Madonna painter.”
Examples include the “Tegernsee Madonna” and works by the artist in the Lenbachhaus Museum in Munich and the Rhön Museum in Fladungen.
Condition appropriate for its age, with tension distortions in the canvas, craquelure in the paint layer, some flaking paint, and slightly yellowed varnish. See pictures.
The Rhönmuseum Fladungen has an extensive collection (including the artist's estate). After 15 years of renovation and reorientation, it reopened in March 2025.

Madonna and Child
Oil on canvas, 31 x 21 cm
With frame, cm 37,5 x 27,5
The pearly incarnations and the thoughtful play of looks between the Virgin, turned to the Son, and Questi, warmly open to the viewer, pour out the present painting with compositional perfection. Virginal fabrics become mottled at the folds, wrapping the Madonna in a thin vitreous mantle. The pastel colors, shining on the pink robe just tightened at the waist by a gold cord, enliven the faces of the divine couple in correspondence of the cheeks, lit by an orange warmth. Even the left hand of the Virgin, composed in perfect classical pose (Botticelli, Madonna with Child, 1467, Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon), is sprinkled with warmth thanks to the immediate touch with Christ. From the nimbus of the Mother a delicate luminous disk is effused, which takes back, in the most distant rays, the colour of the hair of the Son, from the tones of the sun. The Child Jesus is represented intent in a tender gesture of invitation with the right hand, while with the other he offers a universal blessing: with his hand he retracts the index and annular palms, extending the remaining three fingers, symbol of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The painting welcomes and re-elaborates that typically Tuscan formalism that boasted in the rest of Italy the constant appreciation by the most up-to-date artists and collectors. Arrangement, composition and mixing of colors place the canvas in the middle between the changing mannerist and the sculptural figures of Michelangelo, essential yardstick of comparison in terms of anatomical and expressionistic rendering. In the present, silvery and pinkish powders act as three-dimensional inducers to the Child’s mentioned musculature and to the vivid folds of the clothes, expertly deposited on the lunar whiteness of the skins. While these colours recall the equally brilliantly transparent colours of Pier Francesco Foschi...
