| This Beautiful Oil on Canvas, "Picnic in the Forest", Hugo Crola (German, 1814-1910). Little is known of the early life of Hugo Crola other than his birth in 1814. Crola studied at the Duesseldorfer Academy of Arts as a pupil of Eduard Bendemann, a prominent artist and teacher of the area. Beginning in 1877, Crola belonged to the well-known and respected Duesseldorfer painting school. In "Picnic in the Forest", two ladies dressed in 19th century Victorian dress sit leisurely on a hill deep in the forest. One woman wears a white dress and matching hat and holds an umbrella, while the other woman wears a pink dress also with a matching hat. The forest bed is a deep rusty crimson with various boulders emerging from the earth. A series of trees with long slender trunks also rise from the ground and seemingly frame the two subjects. A forest of green is visible behind the hill with a small patch of sky visible beyond it. Crola rendered the scene in an impressionistic style by applying a sense of spontaneity and undetailed manner. He applied a deep and bold color palette with loose brushstrokes to achieve this effect. A great sense of light and shadows is evident by the images falling across the forest bed. Measuring Framed 28 x 33", Canvas Alone, 25 7/8 X 20 5/8", it is signed, Serious Inquiries are Welcome!
