Description: | Signed: yes Description: Known as Van Hier, Hierschl-Minerbi was considered Austrian despite being born in Trieste. He travelled extensively to the Netherlands, France, England and Italy, and enjoyed painting scenes of water, often at night. Though minimal in its detail, this painting shows his skill in capturing the stillness of the sea in moonlight. Only one white brushstroke defines the division between sky and water, and three others contribute to the effect of reflection. While on the right the form of a boat dissolves in the mist, to the left small figures suggest activity around a second vessel, bringing life to the scene. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hierschl-Minerbi, Joachim (Austrian painter b.1834) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8495... | Go to resource |
