/internal/media/dispatcher/16017/fullThe Artist's Studio in Venice1877[Carl Schuch]Carl SchuchOil on canvasCarl Schuch painted his studio in such a way that we feel we are standing in the middle of the room ourselves. A staircase guides our gaze upward, while a group of seats is arranged in front of it. Books are stacked in the shelves, and a piano is further evidence of creativity. The brushstrokes—some swift, some carefully placed—add lively touches. This Viennese painter regularly spent the winter months from 1876 to 1882 in Venice. It was here that he rented the spacious studio depicted in this large-format view. Schuch’s exploration of art theory at the time is recorded in his notebooks, now in the Belvedere archives.
