Lot 1143 | Gari Melchers
(1860 Detroit - 1932 Falmouth bei Fredericksburg)
"In den Dünen"/"In Holland". Originaltitel
In dem mit weichem, pastosem Duktus gemalten, impressionistischen Gemälde schildert Melchers zwei Bauernmädchen vor einer Düne unter einem zartblauen Himmel mit Mondsichel; das eine in überraschend sonntäglicher Tracht beim Tragen eines Jochs mit Milcheimern, das andere in einfacher Kleidung mit Harke und Korb auf dem Rücken. Bei diesem Werk handelt es sich wohl um die erste Version des Gemäldes "In Holland", das Melchers 1887 auf dem Salon in Paris zeigte und 1891 in einer weiteren "In den Dünen" betitelten Version im Münchener Glaspalast. Letztere steht diesem Gemälde in seiner ursprünglichen Komposition am nächsten, im Gegensatz zur naturalistischen Pariser Version (heute im Melchers-Museum in Fredericksburg). Letztere überarbeitete er bis um 1890 stark - er übermalte u. a. die Mondsichel und fügte eine Windmühle und Häuser im oberen Bildteil ein. Melchers - einer der bedeutendsten amerikanischen Naturalisten und Impressionisten, studierte in Düsseldorf und Paris; angezogen von den malerischen Reizen Hollands ging Melchers nach Egmond, wo er 1884 eine Künstlerkolonie gründete. 1886 debütierte Melchers sensationell mit dem ersten Meisterwerk "Die Predigt" auf dem Pariser Salon; 1889 erhielt er einen Grand Prix auf der Weltausstellung. Öl/Leinwand; Länge u. signiert; 84 cm x 61 cm. Original-Rahmen.
