Ludwig von Hofmann
(1861 Darmstadt - 1945 Pillnitz)
An der Pferdeschwemme
Die in antikisierender Ästhetik inszenierten Protagonisten werden in einer harmonischen Flussidylle, vollkommen im Einklang mit der Natur geschildert, während die Komposition vom rhythmischen Zusammenspiel der Farben und Formen bestimmt wird. In Stil und Motivik charakteristisches, reizvolles Blatt aus der späteren Dresdner Zeit Hofmanns, der ab 1883 an der dortigen Akademie studierte, später zu Ferdinand Keller nach Karlsruhe wechselte und 1889 an der Académie Julian in Paris lernte. Ab 1890 war er als freischaffender Künstler in Berlin tätig und lebte 1894-1900 größtenteils in Italien. Seitdem wurden die Rezeption der Antike und Vorstellung von Arkadien zu einem immanenten Bestandteil seiner Kunst. 1903 berief man ihn als Professor an die fortschrittliche Großherzogliche Kunstschule in Weimar, wo er zum Kreis von Harry Graf Kessler und Henry van de Velde gehörte. 1916-1931 lehrte Hofmann als Professor im Fach Monumentalmalerei an der Dresdener Akademie, wo er vermutlich auch den Architekten Dr. Stephan Hirzel kennenlernte und das vorliegende Blatt entstand. Farbkreide und Gouache/graues Papier. L. u. monogr. sowie gewidmet an „Herrn Dr. Hirzel zu freundlicher Erinnerung Dresden 1927“ mit Künstlersign.; Verso Besitzvermerk Hirzel in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. 43,5 cm x 82,8 cm (Passepartoutausschnitt).
