Oil on wood21031Carl Schindler mainly depicted anecdotal scenes that tell of the brighter and darker sides of soldiers’ lives. The subject of this work is the official act of recruitment in a rural setting, but it also contains a deeper meaning. The stooped poses of the relatives express the grief and fear of losing a loved one in war. This is coupled with concerns for the future, as a soldier leaving the farm also meant the loss of a laborer. The artist, who died prematurely, had started drawing military scenes for an extensive series of lithographs when he was only seventeen. His predilection for this subject earned him the nickname “Soldier Schindler.” Painting101960967903Upper Belvederehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-7903/manifest
