Artist: Carl Wilhelm Kolbe the elder, German, 17591835, Landscape, Etching, sheet: 32.4 × 43.6 cm (12 3/4 × 17 3/16 in.), Carl Wilhelm Kolbes most enigmatic works were intimate portraits of gnarled oaks, earning him the nickname Eichen-Kolbe. Kolbe even credited his motivation for becoming an artist to the motif: It is trees that have made me an artistif there were no trees in paradise I wouldnt give a penny for my peace of mind. For his fantastic forest interiors, Kolbe took inspiration from Dutch landscapists such as Jacob van Ruisdael, but the position of his trees in the immediate foreground is unique. Highly anthropomorphized, his oaks assume the role of protagonists, even when classical figures or animals are present. Romantic artists such as Kolbe also capitalized on the symbolic association between trees and national identity. , Made in Germany, German, 19th century, Works on Paper - Prints.
