Unfortunately not on display at the moment
In the works of Franz von Stuck (1863–1928), which are mainly marked by portraits and mythological-symbolist pictorial themes, several selected compositions are created around 1890 that are devoted to a pure depiction of nature. The painting shows a view of a small body of water lying deeply in a circle of trees, which is softly brightened by the day’s fading dusk. In this complete tranquility, gentle circles break the calm surface of the water, revealing the flick of a fish’s fin. In his 1892 exhibition in Vienna’s Künstlerhaus, Stuck was represented with 35 paintings and 170 drawings, and acted as the main instigator of Vienna’s art scene, especially for Gustav Klimt (1862–1918), as well as for the photographers Heinrich Kühn (1866–1944) and Hugo Henneberg (1863–1918).
