Lot 1861 | Wilhelm Kuhnert
Wilhelm Kuhnert (1865 Oppeln - 1926 Flims)Porträt einer orientalischen Schönheit im ProfilSeltenes, realistisches, wohl in Ägypten oder dem Sudan entstandenes Bildnis Kuhnerts, der vor allem durch seine Tierbilder bekannt wurde und das Bild von Afrika und seiner Tierwelt in Europa und den USA prägte. Kuhnert studierte 1883-1887 als Stipendiat an der Königlichen Akademischen Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin. Von seinem Wohnsitz in Berlin aus unternahm er Reisen nach Ägypten, in den Sudan, nach Ostafrika, Ceylon und Indien, um Landschafts- und Tierstudien vorzunehmen. Prägend für Kuhnerts Oeuvre waren vor allem seine Reisen nach Afrika 1891/92 und 1905/06, wo er die Motive für seine Gemälde fand, die ihn zu einem der bedeutendsten Tiermaler der Kunstgeschichte werden ließen. 1893 erhielt Kuhnert auf der Grossen Kunstausstellung in Berlin eine Ehrenmedaille, 1904 auf der Weltausstellung in St. Louis eine Goldmedaille. Porträts, figürliche Szenen und das Bildnis des Menschen spielen in seinem Werk eine untergeordnete Rolle, doch spiegeln die wenigen bekannten Bildnisse seine außerordentliche Begabung auch auf diesem Gebiet wider. Öl/Malkarton. L. u. sign. u. dat. (18)98. 43 cm x 31 cm. Rahmen.Oil on cardboard. Signed and dated (18)98.
