- Carl Schuch
Carl Eduard Schuch (
30 September ,1846 -13 September ,1903 ) was anAustria n painter, born inVienna , who spent most of his lifetime outside Austria, inGermany ,Italy andFrance . He painted primarilystill life s and landscapes.During the period 1882–94 he was based in Paris, where he was greatly impressed by the work of
Claude Monet —whom he described as "the Rembrandt of "plein-air" painting"—although he was attracted most of all toRembrandt and the artists of theBarbizon school . [Forster-Hahn et al., 2001, p. 164] In 1884 and 1885 he spent the summer months in theNetherlands , studying the Dutch old masters as well as the contemporary painters of theHague School , and filling notebooks with detailed descriptions of the colors he observed in paintings that he admired. Of all the artists belonging to the circle aroundWilhelm Leibl (called the "Leibl-Kreis"), Schuch was the most devoted to color. [Forster-Hahn et al., 2001, p. 164] His work marks the transition from the realist tradition to the modern movement in Vienna, esthetically, however, it is far from contemporary trends, and from its means and ends, comparable toPaul Cézanne (Gottfried Boehm, referring to Arnold Gehlen).His later years were marked by a degenerative illness. He died in Vienna.
