[AR]. More works from the Max Niedermayer Collection, Limes-Verlag, Wiesbaden, are coming up for auction throughout this year.
- Peiffer Watenphul's Venice works convey a special sense of the morbid atmosphere of Venice's sinking beauty. - In 1946, the artist fled to the lagoon city, eventually, he stayed there until 1956. - Some of his most famous cityscapes were created in Venice. - For the first time on the international auction market.
LITERATURE: Grace Watenphul Pasqualucci, Alessandra Pasqualucci, Max Peiffer Watenphul. Catalogue raisonné, vol. 1: Gemälde - Aquarelle, Cologne 1989, cat. no. G 487 (illustrated).
Dr. Max Niedermayer Collection, Wiesbaden. Dr. Max Niedermayer Estate, Wiesbaden. Private collection, Rhineland-Palatinate (acquired from the above in 1993). In family ownership since
In good condition. The canvas is slightly irregularly cropped. Some threads along the edges are slightly loose. A few small pinholes. Some vertical scratches with small areas of paint loss in the lower part of the image, probably inherent to the work. The hardboard has some scratches, stains, and bumps. Handwritten inscription on the reverse of the hardboard, accompanied by a newspaper article about the artist. The condition report was compiled in daylight with a UV light source and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
