FRITZ PETZHOLDT. German Landscape with View towards a Broad Valley

German Landscape with View towards a Broad Valley. Artist: Fritz Petzholdt (Danish, Copenhagen 1805-1838 Patras). Dimensions: Original paper support: 5 3/16 x 9 11/16 in. (13.2 x 24.6 cm)
Paper support mounted on stretched canvas: 5 13/16 x 10 1/4 in. (14.8 x 26 cm). Date: ca. 1829-30.
Of all the followers of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783-1853), the founding father of the Golden Age of Danish painting, only Petzholdt devoted himself exclusively to landscape. Although the precise location of this small view has not been determined, it was evidently painted in Germany, where the artist sketched in 1829 and again the following year.
