Sobre el cuadro
Johann Gottfried Steffan (1815-1905) was born in Wädenswill near Zurich. He studied lithography at the Munich Academy from 1833 and then took up painting. He was influenced by Dutch landscape painters and the German landscape artist Carl Rottmann. He himself specialised in landscapes of lake and mountain scenes, undertaking many study visits to Bavaria and Switzerland.
This painting is a fine example of Steffan’s output of mountain landscapes. He was well known for his faithful observation of nature and his skill in depicting roaring mountain streams and waterfalls, weather-beaten trees and shimmering lakes. Such works are typical of the late Romanticism which emulated the work of Caspar David Friedrich who was an influential artistic figure in Germanic Europe.
