9/internal/media/dispatcher/126962/fullPax1891[Emil Jakob Schindler]Emil Jakob SchindlerOil on canvas Emil Jakob Schindler chose a monumental format for his allegory about the transience of things. Surrounded by steep rock faces we see a lonely cemetery. Ancient cypresses rise up against the overcast sky, the gravestones are overgrown with plants. Life and decay meet in this image. It is only on closer scrutiny that we see a monk lighting a candle in front of a freshly dug grave. Schindler was inspired by the cemetery in Gravosa near Dubrovnik although the striking scene from nature and the majority of the architecture were imagined by the artist. In 1892 Schindler was awarded a gold medal at the Munich World’s Fair for this Symbolist painting.

Brilliant sunlight illuminates this tranquil stretch of the Danube riverbank. State of the art at the time, the steamship dazzles in resplendent white, the cloud of soot and its dissipation masterfully rendered. Dabs of paint for walkers and the cropped composition capture the randomness of the moment. It is a peaceful coexistence of nature and technology, disclosing nothing of Schindler’s vehement criticism of the Danube’s regulation, which had just begun at the time.
