  • Moravian painter Hugo Charlemont attended the Vienna Academy, where he also studied with Hans Makart. He showed little interest in the renowned Ringstrasse salon artist’s subject matters, however, preferring instead to paint scenes from the worlds of industry and manufacturing. In this scene, he offers a realistic insight into a hammer mill, where pieces of iron are being forged over an open fire. The painter illustrates the walls covered with tools and the tamped clay floor with great attention to detail. It is pleasing to observe how the embers of the fire and the sunlight penetrating through the open windows converge visually.
