CARL ROTTMANN. The Cemetery at Pronoia near Nauplia

The Cemetery at Pronoia near Nauplia. Artist: Carl Rottmann (German, Handschuhsheim 1797-1850 Munich). Dimensions: 10 x 12 in. (25.4 x 30.5 cm). Date: ca. 1841-47. In 1834, King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned a cycle of Greek landscapes from Rottmann that eventually numbered thirty-eight canvases (Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Munich). This sketch is the most freely painted of some half a dozen studies for <i>Pronoia</i> (1846/47), which commemorates the burial place of Bavarian soldiers who helped vanquish the Ottoman Turks at nearby Nauplia in 1822, during the Greek War of Independence.
