Henri Joseph Harpignies, who took many years to find his individual and distinctive painting style, is considered one of the popular French landscape painters of his time. Following his inner conviction that art as such and landscape painting in particular was in decline, Harpignies continued the tradition of romantic painting in the sense of the artists of the "School of Barbizon" into the 20th century. Edmond de Goncourt, the most important French art critic of the time, gave him a favorable review: " ... pas un coup de pinceau qui ne fût vrai ..." (" ... no brushstroke that would not be true ...").

SUN DOWNER
Maximilian Haushofer was self-taught as a painter. In 1828 he visited Fraueninsel in Chiemsee for the first time, an event of the greatest sustainability with regard to his biography. In 1829 he began to study law, and as early as 1831 he had Joseph Anton Sedlmayr teach him oil painting. Shortly thereafter he met the artists Carl Friedrich Heinzmann and Albert Zimmermann, both already established as landscape painters. From 1833 he finally turned to painting, finding his motifs during frequent stays in the Bavarian Alps and at Lake Chiemsee. His first painting with a Chiemsee motif, "Evening at Chiemsee," was exhibited in 1834 at the Munich Kunstverein. His circle of acquaintances expanded in 1834 to include the famous landscape painter Carl Rottmann.
In the summer of 1835 Haushofer spent a longer time on the Fraueninsel, followed in 1836/37 by a trip to Italy with other artists - Haushofer also became a member of the artists' association in Rome. In 1838 he married Anna Dumbser, daughter of the "island host" of Frauenchiemsee, and in the same year the artists' colony there was founded. Already in the following year he created the present painting.
Maximilian Haushofer's early landscape paintings were initially influenced by the idealizing art of Carl Rottmann and Joseph Anton Koch. Later, Romantic tendencies can be found, combined with characteristics of an early open-air painting. The present landscape is probably also indebted to the idealizing tendencies of his artistic models.

MAP ART
Presented are the first five maps of Ortelius publication "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". Under this title, Abraham Ortelius published in 1570 a collection of originally 53 maps, which was published between 1570 and 1641 in numerous and repeatedly expanded editions. The "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" is often referred to as the first modern world atlas - the first person to also title his map collection an "atlas" was then Ortelius' contemporary Gerhard Mercator with the "Atlas sive Cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi et fabricati figura". Ortelius' maps are partly based on the representations of other cartographers of his time. With his collection of maps, Ortelius compiled a unified, aesthetically high-quality map program that was easy to read in book format and gave anyone interested a glimpse of the world of his time and an imaginary journey through it.

Dr. Rainer Schuster M.A.
Pre-20th-Century Paintings, Miniatures, Prints and Works on Paper, Books
Rainer Schuster was able to fulfil a very personal childhood dream by studying art history. Already familiar with the various aspects of art in the south of Germany from his youth, he was able to deepen his knowledge – especially of 17th and 18th century painting – under Prof. Hermann Bauer. Schuster concluded his study of art history in Munich and Vienna with a dissertation on the Bavarian copperplate engraver Michael Wening. Immediately after gaining his doctorate he began a three-year internship at the Bavarian Administration of State-owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes.
In 1998, he moved to NEUMEISTER, initially as an expert on prints, works on paper and books and, from 2003 onwards, for Old Masters and 19th and early 20th-century artists. Since January 2011 Rainer Schuster has headed our core segment FINE ART and is available for valuations of prints, works on paper and paintings from the 15th to the early 20th century. Thanks to his extensive art-historical knowledge, numerous objects, originally consigned as works of unknown masters, have already been accurately attributed to specific artists, as in the case of an important drawing by Friedrich Sustris of a design for St. Michael’s Church in Munich. The highly acclaimed catalogue for our special auction of 21 works by Adolph von Menzel in 2012, compiled by Rainer Schuster, is not only further evidence of his expert knowledge but also of his ability to convey his own enthusiasm for art to our customers.
Barbara Huber M.A.
Pre-20th-Century Paintings, Prints and Works on Paper
Barbara Huber works in the FINE ART department where she is responsible for paintings and prints up until the early 20th century. She checks the authenticity and provenance of items, working closely in her research and cataloguing with the head of the FINE ART department, Dr. Rainer Schuster. Since 2008 Barbara Huber has also been working as an auctioneer, selling the artworks she has verified and catalogued herself to the highest bidder.
Barbara Huber studied art history in Munich, Siena and Venice, initially focussing entirely on the history of architecture. Even during her studies she worked in the Architecture Museum in the Pinakothek der Moderne and was involved in organising and curating the exhibition ‘Architektur der Wunderkinder’. After an internship at another Munich auctioneers’ and freelancing for the art market magazine ARTinvestor she oriented herself on the auction market. Her excellent knowledge of Italian has made Barbara Huber the preferita assoluta for many NEUMEISTER clients south of the Alps who hold the auction house in high esteem with regard both to the purchase as well as the sale of artworks and antiques.
