Jacob Gauermann


Jacob Gauermann - Master Drawings, Prints before 1900, Watercolours, Miniatures

(Cannstatt 1773–1843 Miesenbach)
View of Gutenstein ruin, signed J. Gauermann, watercolour on paper, 21,5 x 27,5 cm, mounted, framed, (Hu)

We are grateful to Dr. Maria Luise Sternath for the scientific support.

Together with Johann Kniep, Karl Ruß, Matthäus Loder and Thomas Ender Jakob Gauermann belonged to the court painters (Kammermaler) of Archduke Johann. With his reduced colour scheme and light watercolour palette Gauermann took away the threatening and massiveness from the mountains. Gauermann proceded narratively by adding staffage figures and architecture to his watercolours thus providing Alpine idylls and creating little stories. (Vgl. Gudrun Danzer, in: Exh. Cat. Albertina, Von der Schönheit der Natur, Die Kammermaler Erzherzog Johanns, Vienna 2015, p. 62).
