Waldmüller exhibition in Vienna

[abaris]

Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller was an austrian painter of the 19th century. Famous for his photorealistic style and long underestimated as only painting nice pictures. But actually he painted what he saw. The poverty and the daily life of a period that was later called the "Biedermaier", which covered the time between the Napoleonic wars and the revolutions of 1848/49.



That's but one of his paintings, called "Erschöpfte Kraft" (Exhaustion), which shows a mother, unconscious or even dead lying next to her infant.

Under the link you can find more of his paintings, which actually are like photographs of a period, some 170 years ago.
