Mountainous Landscape with a Brook

early 19th century

Not on view

Subtle gradations in tone, created with washes of varying densities and the skillful use of untouched paper, result in a compelling sense of spatial recession and a brilliant luminosity. Although lesser known than his older brother Ferdinand and nephew Wilhelm, Franz Kobell enjoyed a prosperous career in Munich, producing several views of the wooded mountains of Bavaria.
