Into The Great Outdoors

Expressive renderings of rural life are the name of the game here, as the pictoral anecdotes of Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and Friedrich Gauermann take centerstage. Understated colours abound as an impressive troupe of Austrian artists do their best to bring the serenity of country life to the canvas, and we’d say it is pretty clear that they succeeded. This is an exercise in making the unspectacular seem, well, spectacular.
