Location Upper Belvedere
The ancient parasol-shaped pine close to Mödling near Vienna had long been a popular destination for day-trippers. In Ludwig Ferdinand Schnorr von Carolsfeld’s painting, the giant tree towers above the rolling hills of the precisely recorded landscape. The artist has arranged the figures around this natural monument as if on a stage. An elegantly dressed couple in the foreground gives alms to a beggar, while a small group of peasants has paused for a rest. Schnorr had a close association with the Nazarenes, a group of artists interested in Romantic religious subjects. However, this depiction of the imposing pine tree reveals the growing preoccupation with an exact observation of nature.
