Josef Wopfner
(Schwaz 1843–1927 Munich)
The Fishermen Setting Out, signed, dated, inscribed Jos. Wopfner, München 1886, oil on panel, 30 x 44 cm, cradled, framed, (Rei)
In 1860 Josef Wopfner travelled to Munich where he first worked as a lithographer. From 1869 to 1872 he was a pupil of Karl Theodor von Piloty. During this time he was also influenced by the landscapist Eduard Schleich the Elder, and this would be reflected in the character of his Chiemsee paintings. He belonged to the circle surrounding Karl Raupp, founder of the artist’s colony at Frauenwörth. In 1888 the artist was awarded the title of Professor. Like Raupp, Wopfner thematically circled the Chiemsee, alternating landscapes with dramatic paintings of fishermen. Drawing from his precise studies of nature undertaken en plein air, he executed landscapes which, although in the Biedermeier tradition, had reached the threshold of Impressionism.
