Lot 1663 | Philipp Otto Runge
(1777 Wolgast - 1810 Hamburg) Eichenzweig Um 1806-1810 entstandener Scherenschnitt aus weißem Papier, auf textilem Untergrund montiert. Der 2018 im Besitz der mit Runge eng verbundenen Künsterfamilie Speckter wiederentdeckte Pflanzenschnitt gehört zu dem bedeutenden Werkkomplex von Scherenschnitten im Oeuvre des Frühromantikers. Er zählte zu den vielseitigsten Künstlern des 19. Jahrhunders; In seinen fragilen Scherenschnitten strebte er danach, in ganzheitlicher, die Naturform abstrahierender Weise das charakteristische Erscheinungsbild der jeweiligen Pflanzenart zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Schon als Kind widmete sich Runge der Kunst des Scherenschnitts, die ihn zeitlebens nicht mehr losließ. Mit eigenen Scherenschnitten konnte er auch Goethe begeistern, die er ihm zur Zimmerdekoration samt Anleitung zur Anbringung und Aufbewahrung derselben sandte. 1805 gelang ihm der künstlerische Durchbruch mit Radierungen zu seinen Scherenschnitten in dem Zyklus "Die Zeiten", der in einer Erstauflage von 25 Exemplaren erschien. Eines erwarb Goethe und schmückte damit sein Musikzimmer mit der Beurteilung: "zum rasend werden, toll und schön zugleich". Scherenschnitt ca. 11 x 24,5 cm. Rahmen. Das Werk wurde durch die Runge-Experten Dr. Hinrich Sieveking und Dr. Markus Bertsch im Februar 2018 in Hamburg im Original begutachtet. /P/Provenienz: Familie Speckter, Hamburg; durch Erbfolge im Privatbesitz, Baden­Württemberg. White paper cut mounted on textile covered backing board, circa 1806-1810. Examined by Dr. Hinrich Sieveking and Dr. Markus Bertsch, February 2018 in Hamburg.
