Om maleriet
Georg Schwer (1827-1877) was born in Nuremberg but received his first artistic training in London where he came at the age of 13. He subsequently went to Düsseldorf at an unknown date and became a pupil of Carl Ferdinand Sohn (1805-1867) while also taking lessons with Rudolf Jordan (1810-1887). He later made several trips to Italy, France and Germany. He died in Düsseldorf in 1877.
This painting is a fine example of Schwer's output. It was probably made during a study trip to Willingshausen in the Schwalm (central Germany) he undertook in 1860. This painting shows a woman and her two children travelling with a dog cart carrying monkeys and silhouetted against a dark atmospheric landscape, reminiscent of the art of Sohn. This painting is a good example of the late Romanticism imagery developed in Düsseldorf in the second half of the 19th century.
