'Late-Baroque Impressions', Hungarian National Gallery, Shown Now |
|
 "The Hungarian National Gallery presents an exhibition of master and disciple. Franz Anton Maulbertsch, who moved from Lake Constance to Vienna, was the most radiant talent of 18th century painting north of the Alps, while Winterhalder evolved into an autonomous artist of great virtuosity from an eminent pupil.The younger painter who moved from the Black Forest to Moravia was the scion of a noted dynasty of sculptors. The forte of both artists was fresco painting; their works can be found all over Transdanubia, Lower Austria and Moravia. The exhibition has two optional entrances.
On the right, it starts with Maulbertsch' early works, his expressive light painting of the 1750s. The department of prints and drawings put on display 13 drawings and three autographic etchings with the "original" in oil of one of them (The Charlatan, 1785).
The majority of painted sketches for frescoes and oil paintings can be paired with works in Hungary; they include the sketches for the high altar in Zirc, the frescoes in the parish churches of Sümeg and Pápa. Two outstanding bozzetti to the choir ceiling fresco of Győr cathedral are shown: one is a rough sketch in colour and the other is a grey (en grisaille) one improved in composition (Berlin, and Metropolitan Museum, New York, resp.)."
