<> AUGUST HAUN 1815-Berlin-1894 Landscapes.Landschaften.Paysages. Portfolio 2 Lithographs Lithographien Lithographies c. 1850 The painter, lithographer and etcher, August Haun, studied under Karl Blechen and August Wilhelm Schirmer. He first displayed his works at the annual Berlin Academy exhibitionsfrom 1836 on, starting with landscape drawings and then proceeding to genre scenes, architectural pieces and romantic landscapes. Scarce series. The landscapes have been treated in a very detailed and differentiated technique which creates an intense atmosphere and a marked sense of depth. Tiny staffage figures enliven nature in all its majesty. The influence exerted by August Wilhelm Schirmer’s romantic approach to landscape is rather evident. <> PETER HELM on LITHOGRAPHIE
