Artworks         Albert Hertel (1843-1912), Tiergarten, 1900     Oil on canvas 35 7/8" x 51 1/8" K19600005 © The artist and his lawful heirs     She stands submerged in sunlight in the middle of Berlin’s Tiergarten. A stone lion stands guard while the young lady, her hands laden with huge bunches of flowers, seems to be lost in contemplation of the peaceful sanctuary she has discovered. The picture was created by the Berlin artist Albert Hertel, who had started out with the ambition to be a painter of historical themes. However, a pulmonary disease forced him to take the country air in Saxony where he developed a passion for landscape painting. Because his sojourn in the country did nothing to alleviate his condition, he moved to the South. In Rome this meticulous chronicler of natural scenes took up painting heroic landscapes. At the same time he began work on a series of nature studies which cast aside the rules of the academy and expressed an immediate relationship with the natural world. In 1897 Hertel left Italy, and after a short stay in Hamburg settled in Berlin for good, where he began teaching landscape painting at the Academy of Art. His friend Adolph von Menzel considered him a first-rate observer of nature.She stands submerged in sunlight in the middle of Berlin’s Tiergarten.
