Michael Neher
Partie aus Kelheim an der Donau
Öl auf Holz. 39 x 32,5 cm.
Signiert und datiert unten rechts: Mich. Neher. 1844.
Provenienz
Sammlung Michael, Wien. - Privatbesitz Süddeutschland.
Verso handschriftliches Etikett mit der Aufschrift "Partie aus Kelheim an der Donau, gemalt von Michael Neher, München, Ruhmfordstrasse 9/3".
Wenngleich Neher zahlreiche Genreszenen und Portraits malte, so lag seine eigentliche Stärke jedoch in den Architekturdarstellungen. Er entwickelte die klassische Vedute zu einem bewusst stimmungsvollen Städte- und Architekturportrait von höchster Genauigkeit, das durch sorgfältig gestaltete Staffage belebt wird. Da er auf zahlreichen Reisen durch Deutschland besonders die mittelalterliche Architektur studierte, setzte er diese in zahlreichen Werken mit langanhaltendem Erfolg um. Neben Domenico Quaglio war er der bedeutendste und erfolgreichste Architekturmaler seiner Zeit.
Das 1844 datierte Gemälde von Michael Neher stellt einen Teil der Stadtmauer von Kelheim dar. Kelheim in Niederbayern liegt am Ausgang des Donaudurchbruchs, unterhalb des Michelberges sowie an der Mündung der Altmühl in die Donau. Bereits im 19. Jahrhundert war es ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel der Münchner.
Dieses Gemälde wird in das in Vorbereitung befindliche Werkverzeichnis von Günther
Meier, Oberding, aufgenommen.
Michael Neher
Partie aus Kelheim an der Donau
Oil on panel. 39 x 32.5 cm.
Signed and dated lower right: Mich. Neher. 1844.
Provenance
South German private collection.
The back of this work bears a label inscribed with the title "Partie aus Kelheim an der Donau, gemalt von Michael Neher, München, Ruhmfordstrasse 9/3".
Although Nehler also painted portraits and genre scenes, he was primarily known for his architectural motifs. He transformed classic vedutas into atmospheric portraits of cities and their architecture, enlivened with carefully arranged staffage figures. Nehler created copious studies of medieval architecture on his trips throughout Germany, and it was with these motifs that he achieved the most artistic acclaim. He was to become the most important and successful architectural painter of his time alongside Domenico Quaglio.
This painting dated 1844 depicts part of the city wall of Kelheim. Kelheim is located in Lower Bavaria at the close of the Danube Gorge below the Michelberg, which is also the point at which the Altmühl flows into the Danube. It was already a popular travel destination for day-trippers from Munich in the 19th century.
This painting will be included in the catalogue raisonné currently being prepared by Günther Meier in Oberding.
