Description
‘Eifel Landscape’ (‘Eifel Landschaft’)
Biography: Werner Peiner
This painting by Werner Peiner depicts the farmland of the Eifel, which was also the subject of the famous paintings ‘Deutsche Erde’ and ‘Grosse Herbstlandschaft. Like his ancestors, Peiner lived his whole life in the Eifel. The grim, grey clouds are typical for the Eifel area.
This finely-detailed painting has been carried out using tempera pigments. Peiner has protected the pigments using a self-created surface film that offered a gloss meeting his personal taste. His brushwork may appear to the untrained eye as a poster or print but, on closer inspection, the truth reveals his uncanny abilities and artistic skill. Date of creation: 1962/63.
