The Viennese painter Maximilian Erler (1888-1958) created this oil painting depicting a rural scene around 1920. Erler presents a view of an idyllic village in the Kitzbühel Alps, one of his favourite subjects. The painting is characterized by the use of bright colors. Erler was certainly influenced by the Austrian painter and architect Alfons Walde (1891-1958), who became internationally known in the 1920s and 1930s due to his posters of winter landscapes and winter sports themes. But the Tyrolean mountain painter Oskar Mulley (1891-1949) might also have inspired Erler.



The painting is signed lower right ‘Maxim. Erler’. It shows some minor retouching in the sky and in the outer edges, which are only visible under UV-light and 2 short and backed as well as retouched tears at the upper and lower edge in the area of the middle stretcher bar, otherwise in good condition. The overall dimensions framed are 88 x 110 cm, the stretcher measures 74 x 100 cm. The frame shows slight signs of use.



Maximilian Erler (1888-1958)

The Austrian Maximilian Erler mainly painted landscapes and still lives. He especially focused on the Tyrolean Alps, Kitzbühel in particular, which the artist depicted both in summer and winter. Erler lived in Vienna, regularly exhibiting his works at the Vienna Artists’ Association from 1924 onwards. His paintings often show the affinity to his contemporaries Alfons Walde and Oskar Mulley.
