Lortet Leberecht (1828-1901), After - Auf der Riederalp

For sale is an extraordinary, over 130-year-old art ensemble from the Imperial era, consisting of a moodful alpine oil painting and its original, magnificently preserved opulent frame. This piece is not an indeterminate attic find, but can be precisely dated and art-historically attributed through historical evidence on the back. The painting & the motif Motif: "Auf der Riederalp" (Switzerland). It shows an idyllic alpine mountain panorama with a chapel and a hiking path in the foreground. Art-historical context: The motif is an exact, absolutely contemporary rendition of the well-known work by the renowned French landscape painter Leberecht Lortet (1828–1901), famous for his precise Alpine depictions. The painting is unsigned, but captivates with a technically solid, masterful execution from the period. Technique: Oil on canvas, original stretched. The opulent frame (the absolute highlight) Type: Authentic Historicism opulent frame made of wood and plaster with gorgeous corner cartouches (Acanthus decor) and a surrounding bead-and-string pattern. Dimensions: stately 53 x 60 cm (outer dimensions) – enormous depth and regal wall presence. Historical evidence: On the back there is the original, stamped proof "D.R.G.M. No 14336" (Deutsches Reichs-Gebrauchsmuster) as well as "Ges. Gesch.". Due to the extremely low registration number, the frame (and thus the ensemble) can be precisely dated to the years 1891/1892. Condition: Very nice, authentic condition with wonderful patina of age. A tiny, age-related plaster detachment at the lower right corner (barely noticeable and underscores the antique character). Provenance / Origin On the back there is also a historical, handwritten note from 1960: "Eigentum Margarete Schmitz, Andenken von Neuss, Rheintorstr. 10". The history of the painting has thus been documented for decades in a Rhine-region citizen family.
