Willy Jaeckel

Gebirgslandschaft
1921

Oil on canvas 120 x 120 cm Framed. Signed and dated 'W. Jaeckel. 21' in black lower left. - Mounted on new stretcher, occasional minute retouches along the upper margin.

Due to the increasingly turbulent situation in Berlin, Charlotte Jaeckel bought a house in Gunzesried near Sonthofen in 1920 where the family retreated to for several months of the year. The alpine environment seems to have impressed the painter to such an extent that he dedicated this large-scale canvas to this motif despite his notorious financial difficulties.
