Lot 1809 | Wilhelm Kray
(1828 Berlin - 1889 München) Liebesgeflüster vor der italienischen Küste Szenische Darstellung mit einem jungen Fischer in einem Kahn, der einem Mädchen seine Liebe beteuert und hierbei von zwei Amoretten unterstützt wird, während ein weiterer Fischer das Boot durch die Wellen des abendlichen Mittelmeeres steuert. In Motiv und Stil charakteristisches Stimmungsbild Krays, der seine Liebesszenen oft mit italienischen Meeresmotiven und mythologischer Staffage (Nixen, Sirenen etc.) verband. Kray studierte ab 1848 an der Berliner Akademie, deren Ausstellungen er 1856-1872 beschickte. 1859/60 vollendete er seine künstlerische Ausbildung in Paris, wo er in den Ateliers von Alexandre Cabanel und Paul Baudry tätig war. 1867-1871 war Kray in Rom ansässig, von wo aus er zahlreiche Reisen nach Neapel unternahm. Diese italienischen Eindrücke spiegeln sich auch in diesem Gemälde aus Krays reifer Schaffensperiode wider. Öl/Lwd.; L. u. sign. u. dat. 1883. 72 cm x 113 cm. Rahmen. Vgl.: Boetticher, Bd. I/2,S. 793 ff., Nr. 24 (vergleichbares Motiv). Oil on canvas. Signed and dated 1883.
