Verified profile

The almost photographic realism of the painting, together with the careful physiognomic characterization of the characters are typical traits of the language of Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (1793-1865). One of the most popular artists of his time, he was able to grasp the indications of that bourgeois Biedermeier taste in painting, widely spread in German-speaking countries at the turn of the mid-nineteenth century. In addition to the refined and vast production of portraits, the Viennese artist also specialized in landscapes of rare luministic sensitivity and genre scenes, similar to that of this painting which shows a young woman with her three children seeking shelter from a storm at a small country altar. The painting originally belonged to the Sartorio di Trieste collections and was inherited by Count Guglielmo Coronini in 1946, thanks to a bequest from the last descendant of the Trieste family, Anna Segrè Sartorio.
