/internal/media/dispatcher/101952/fullMary Walking over the Mountains1841[Joseph von Führich]Joseph von FührichOil on canvasThe picture’s title is misleading for the subject of this painting is not the ruin of Liechtenstein Castle, visible behind the trees. Instead it is the path that leads up to it, the deep channels formed by torrents after every rainfall, the loose rocks that have been swept along, and the ocher loamy earth. It is probably late afternoon: the shadows are long, the soft light falling almost golden on the path and landscape. It is only after taking a closer look that we notice the two women: one crouching exhausted on the edge of the path while the other is already further up the hill and will at any moment disappear around the bend.Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/7894/rdf
