Description
This is a reproction of “The Shores of Oblivion” by Eugen Bracht of 1889. The artist was forty-seven years old when he created this masterpiece having ben born in 1842 Switzerland, being the son of a lawyer. The family moved to Darmstadt in 1850. He entered the Karlsruhe Art School when aged seventeen years. He became disappointed with his talents within two years and moved to Belgium to become a wool merchant. He was destroyed financially due to the Franco-Prussian War and returned to painting by 1876 when he moved to Karlsruhe. He gained his first success with his “dune” paintings. After a journey to Syria, Palestine and Egypt he produced landscapes of scenes from those lands which were enormously popular and gained imperial attention. He became a professor at the Berlin Academy of Arts. He became a supporter of the Impressionistic secession movement and became manager of the Dresden Art Academy in 1902. He was widely acclaimed and in 1919 retired and returned to Darmstadt. He died there two years later. This masterpiece of German landscapes is an oil on canvas that measures 139 by 257 centimeters. It is in the Hessian State Museum in Darmstadt, Germany.
