Waldmüller’s Love for the Austrian Landscape

“Nature must be the only source and sum of our studies, it is in she alone that truth and beauty are to be found“. The love that Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller felt for Austria is self-evident in ’The Wildbad Gastein Falls’, a painting which embodies the richness of the artist’s native country, to be sold in our 19th Century European Paintings sale on 22 May 2014.
