Lot 1172 | Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski
(1849 Suwalki - 1915 München)
"Gefährliche Reise". Originaltitelt
Szenische, dramatisch bewegte Darstellung eines von Wölfen angegriffenen Troika-Schlittens in russischer Winterlandschaft. Delikat gemaltes Werk mit virtuoser, höchst lebendiger Schilderung der Tiere und Figuren. Wierusz-Kowalski studierte ab 1873 bei Alexander v. Wagner an der Akademie in München, wo er sich niederließ und dem Kreis polnischer Maler um Józef Brandt anschloss. Von 1875 an beschickte er erfolgreich die bedeutenden Ausstellungen mit seinen flott gemalten, inhaltlich fesselnden Darstellungen aus dem Volksleben Polens und Russlands. Sein bevorzugter Themenkreis waren Reiter, Pferde, Kutschen und von Wölfen verfolgte Schlitten. Als sein Hauptwerk gilt das 10 m breite und 5 m hohe Kolossalgemälde "Überfall von Wölfen", das 1910 im Alten Rathaus in München mit sensationellem Erfolg ausgestellt wurde. Öl/Holztafel. L u. signiert "A. Wierusz-Kowalski". Verso auf altem Etikett betitelt. 20 cm x 37 cm. Wohl Original-Rahmen.
Lit.: Boetticher, Bd. I/2, S. 784 f.; Thieme-Becker, Bd. XXI, S. 364.
Oil on panel. Signed. Titled on a label on the reverse.
