Johann Falch
(1687 Augsburg - 1727 ebenda) attr.;
Waldstillleben mit Reptilien und Insekten
Blick auf ein Bodenstück mit Pilzen, Löwenzahn und Schnecken am Fuße eines Baumes, an dem eine Schlange und eine Eidechse Jagd auf Falter machen, während sich im Hintergrund der Blick in eine bewaldete Landschaft öffnet. Fein lasierend, in teils leuchtendem Kolorit gemaltes, in seiner detailgetreuen, möglichst naturnahen Darstellung für Falch motiv- und stiltypisches Werk. Falch, der bei Johann Christoph Beyschlag lernte, befasste sich intensiv mit Pflanzen, Reptilien und Insekten. Um eine besonders naturnahe Wirkung vor allem bei der Darstellung von Schmetterlingen zu erzielen, bediente er sich einem in den Niederlanden entwickelten Abklatschverfahrens, in dem die Insekten in Farbe getaucht und direkt auf den Malträger übertragen werden. Zugleich zeigt er in diesem Bild durch die schnappende Schlange und die Schilderung kurzlebiger Tiere und Pflanzen die tiefe, vielschichtige Barock-Symbolik des „Memento mori“. Öl/Eichenholztafel, parkettiert. 44 cm x 32,5 cm. Rahmen.
Provenienz: Auflösung der Privatsammlung Horst Schach, Karlsruhe.
Attributed to Johann Falch (1687 - 1727). Oil on oak panel.
