Carl Ebert (1821 Stuttgart - 1885 Munich): River floodplain near Pähl with floodplain island and dense floodplain forest, 19th century, Pencil Technique: White heightened Pencil on Paper Inscription: lower left signed: "C. Ebert". At the lower part inscribed: "bei Pähl". Date: 19th century Description: After studying at the classically influenced art academy in Stuttgart, Ebert moved to Munich in 1846 to join the circle of landscape painters around Eduard Schleich. In 1851 he travelled to Paris with Schleich and his artist friend Carl Spitzweg. His stay there and his encounter with the Barbizon group of artists were to fundamentally change his view of landscape painting. Schleich's painting was influenced by his great teachers and models Christian Morgenstern and Carl Rottmann, whose idealising interpretation of nature was strongly influenced by Romanticism. His landscapes sometimes seem to freeze under the atmospheric lighting conditions and the trimmed natural components. In his small sketch, Ebert frees himself completely from this conception of landscape. He discovers the charm of the inconspicuous motif and establishes an almost intimate relationship with it. It is a landscape near Pähl between Lake Ammersee and Lake Starnberg, a frequent destination for Munich artists. But it could be anywhere; Ebert gives no creative definition of the place here. The lines are free, no fixed place is assigned to the light. Nature is in motion, it is alive. It is his paean to open-air painting, which will soon revolutionise the classical system of academy training.
