About the painting
August Rosenthal (1820) was born in Hanover but settled in Munich. Very little is known about his training although his paintings demonstrate the influence of the German Romanticism. He died sometimes in the second half of the 19th century probably in Munich.
This painting is a fine example of late Romantic landscapes produced in Munich around 1850. Much of these works involved plein-air painting of landscapes characterised by a high degree of finish in a dark, subdued palette with dramatic effects of colour and light. This type of painting was quite popular with collectors in the second half of the century.
