Adolf Lins (1856-1927), Painting, Forested Riverside, c. 1910
This oil painting was created by the painter Adolf Lins around 1920. Lins was a student of the so-called Düsseldorf School of Painting that was mainly established during the 19th century, representing a rather realistic and socially critical view of art. In addition to the history and portrait paintings their focused developed with greater importance on landscape and genre paintings. Our painting by Adolf Lins also stands in the tradition of the Düsseldorf landscape paintings, which were mainly influenced by the painter Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, who was in turn influenced by the Dutch landscapes of Jacob van Ruisdael. In this painting Lins presents an idyllic river landscape with an overcast sky, executed in loose brushwork and muted color palette. The trees standing on the river bank are reflected on the water surface that shows some bright color accents here and there.



The painting is signed 'Ad. Lins’. The cardboard is slightly bent. The upper right corner and the bottom right of the screen with tiny nail holes; the edges of the painting with light traces due to nailing, otherwise overall in very good condition. The cardboard measures 35.5 x 49 cm. The framed dimensions are 43 x 56.5 cm. The frame shows slight signs of wear.
