JULIUS SCHOLTZ 1825 Breslau - 1893 Dresden Wedding in the Country Oil on canvas (wax relined). 99.5 x 140 cm (F. 122 x 161 cm). Signed and dated lower left 'Julius Scholtz 1851'. Restaurierung. Frame, on brass plate indicated and titled 'German Wedding'. Wedding'. A newly wed couple is proudly leaving the church, closely surrounded by a merry wedding-party. Flower children and musicians escort the spouses on their way into a bright future. Julius Scholtz is taking us back to the year 1851, when the kingdom of Saxonia was characterized by a strong population growth and Dresden was evolving into a German metropolis. The scenery is marking an idyllic counterpoint to this development. Szenerie setzt einen idyllischen Kontrapunkt zu dieser Entwicklung. Die beständige The constant quality of Scholtz`s complex genre paintings made him one of the most important artists of the city. Hans Posse even called him the 'most significant representative of pictorial realism in Dresden after Ryski'. With 'Wedding in the Country' we present one of the artist`s main works, whose oeuvre is mostly kept in public collections. It is on rare occasions, that sought-after paintings come into the market. In its vibrant recaption of variously shaped faces the painting proves to be one of Scholtz`s academic masterpieces. Provenance: Rhenish private collection.
