Callmeyers Haus. 1904.
Oil on canvas.

[MH].

• An iconic motif in Worpswede art, combining typical North German architecture with the atmospheric landscape of the Teufelsmoor (Devil's Bog).
• A metaphor for the quiet poetry and closeness to nature of the artists' colony.
• The warm glow of the evening light contrasts with the cool shadows in the foreground, lending the work a haunting, almost symbolist mood characteristic of Overbeck's mature creative phase around 1900.
• Overbeck's harmonious balance between realistic observation of nature and emotional perception impressively documents the development of German landscape painting on the threshold of Modernism
.

We are grateful to Dr. Katja Pourshirazi, Overbeck-Museum, Bremen, for her kind expert advice.

PROVENANCE: Art trader Wolfgang Werner, Bremen.
Private collection North Rhine-Westphalia (acquired from the above).
