Josef Langl

Cologne Cathedral

Oil on canvas (relined). 56.5 x 75 cm.
Signed and dated lower right: J. Langl 1880.

Painted in 1880, this work by the architectural painter Josef Langl shows Cologne Cathedral shortly after its completion, using the actual executed proportions. This is recognisable for example in the slim crossing spire, which was planned in a much heavier version.
