Estimate value

Hugo Mühlig (1854 Dresden - 1929 Düsseldorf)
Die Milchmagd und der Jäger, Öl auf Leinwand, 55 cm x 78 cm, signiert, doubliert, partiell retuschiert.

Hugo Mühlig kam sicherlich durch die eigene Familie zur Kunst. Sein Vater und sein Onkel waren bereits bekannte Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts. Doch lernte er nicht nur bei Ihnen über Malerei, Komposition und den gelungenen Farbauftrag, sondern auch an der Dresdener Kunstakademie. Dem Studium folgte der Umzug nach Düsseldorf, womit auch eine Veränderung im Malstil des Künstlers einherging. So wie auch im vorliegenden Gemälde beschäftigt sich Mühlig mit dem Sujet der erntenden Bauern, Jäger oder Spaziergänger. Ob auf dem Felde oder dem Waldweg, ist die gesamte natürliche Umgebung sowie die Lichtstimmung charakteristisch für seine Werke. Zudem erschafft Hugo Mühlig durch das gekonnte Setzen des Horizonts eine Tiefenwirkung, der das Auge des Betrachters folgen möchte. Auch Beschaffenheiten der im Gemälde vorherrschenden Witterung, wie die leichte Kühle des Windes und der feuchte Erdboden sind genauso zu erspüren, wie die meist heitere Stimmung der auftretenden Figuren, trotz der nicht zu unterschätzenden Arbeit auf dem Felde.





Hugo Mühlig (1854 Dresden - 1929 Düsseldorf)
The Milkmaid and the Hunter, oil on canvas, 55 cm x 78 cm, signed, relined, partially retouched.

Hugo Mühlig certainly came to art through his own family. His father and uncle were already well-known painters of the 19th century. However, he not only learned about painting, composition and the successful application of paint from them, but also at the Dresden Art Academy. His studies were followed by a move to Düsseldorf, which also brought about a change in the artist's painting style. As in the present painting, Mühlig was concerned with the subject of harvesting farmers, hunters or walkers. Whether in the field or on the forest path, the entire natural environment as well as the lighting mood is characteristic of his works. In addition, Hugo Mühlig's skilful use of the horizon creates an effect of depth that the viewer's eye wants to follow. The characteristics of the weather prevailing in the painting, such as the slight coolness of the wind and the damp soil, can also be sensed, as can the mostly serene mood of the figures appearing, despite the work in the field, which should not be underestimated.
