19th Century Paintings

19th Century Paintings

span the period of realism. Various styles developed after 1800 in quick succession, along with a newly awakened interest in landscape, provided art with an inexhaustible supply of subjects. By the end of the century, wonderful, sensitively painted views from the Biedermeier period had given way to impressionist and expressive interpretations of nature. Alongside domestic landscapes, there are landscapes from the South and, in particular, adventurous journeys through the Near East that are still fascinating to viewers today. Our selection is rounded out by grandly staged historical themes, realistic portraiture and attractively arranged still lifes with flowers on porcelain or canvas.
