Description

A large and dramatic oil on canvas landscape scene by the German artist Franz Reder-Broili 1854-1918. The work shows an interesting view across a river and through an old stone bridge, concentrating mainly on the movement of the water and reflections in it. The technique and style are typically impressionistic with a refined use of paint, applied with a broad brush. The work is fully signed to the lower left ‘Reder-Broili’. Franz Reder-Broili was born in 1854 at Mellrichstadt, and died in 1918 in Munich. His teachers included Johann Georg Hiltensperger, Ludwig von Löfftz and Otto Seitz. He lived and worked mainly in Munich. He can be seen as a forerunner of the influential Dachau School. He concentrated on landscapes, maintaining an imposing style as can be seen in this example. He belonged to the long-established Reder family, which also included the landscape painter and poet Heinrich von Reder and the freedom fighter Ignaz Reder. A painting of this size and quality must have been an exhibited work and it does retain a printed address on the stretcher, often a sign of an exhibited piece. The painting is in excellent condition having been professionally cleaned. The work also retains the original gilt frame which is in good untouched condition with the odd repair as would be expected for such a large example. The whole is a fine piece of impressionist landscape work which has a huge amount of decorative appeal but also gives a feeling of tranquillity. C.1900.
