The present painting is the work of German artist Adolf Stademann (1824-1895). The painting shows an atmospheric river landscape with fishermen on the shore. Stademann was an admirer of Dutch landscape painting of the 17th century. This influence seems to be visible in the present work. However, the present impressionistic composition also clearly testifies to Stademann’s own style of painting.



The painting is executed on panel, stabilized with two wooden bars. It is barely legible signed, ‘A. ST’, lower right. The work is well presented, showing light framing marks. A very small loss of color can be seen to the left margin. A few areas of slight retouching can be found, mainly to the left margin. The decorative frame is in very good condition. The overall dimensions are 30.5 x 37.5 with frame. The wood panel measures 18 x 24.5 cm.

Adolf Stademann (1824-1895)

Born in Munich, Adolf Stademann studied with the landscape and architectural painter Carl August Lebschée, and the landscape painter Moritz Eduard Lotze. In addition to landscapes, Stademann executed several night pieces. Influenced by the Dutch landscape painting of the 17th century, he later focused on winter landscapes with figure staffages, and impressionistic moonlight scenes.
