Who painted this? #48

Title of the artwork: I Too Was inwards Arcadia (Auch ich nation of war inwards Arkadien)
Name of the creative mortal who created this artwork: Carl Wilhelm Kolbe (1759 - 1835) (German)
Date it was created: 1801
Media used: Etching; Plate: fifteen 1/8 x xix 7/8 inches; Sheet: xvi 1/4 x xx 7/8 inches
Where it lives now: Several places every bit it is an etching!

This is the most famous etching created by Carl Wilhelm Kolbe (1759-1835). He's mostly regarded every bit the most famous etcher of his time.

He learned how to depict through classical academic preparation at the Berlin Academy of Art where he did his fourth dimension drawing plaster models together with classical sculpture. His etching wasn't a science taught to him. Instead he learned how to practise it for himself.

What genuinely interested Kolbe were landscapes and, believe it or not, giant vegetation. This impress is but i of 28 etchings inwards which giant vegetation dwarfs the human figures inwards the image. His dislocation of scale inwards this agency is something non seen earlier or since.

The location for this exceptional impress is Arcadia (aka Arcady inwards English). Whereas Arcadia genuinely exists (it's a province inwards Greece), it's used inwards this context every bit role of a Romantic concept of a utopian place, a pastoral paradise, where the province is unspoiled past times human being together with human being tin live at i amongst nature. Arcadian landscapes were real pop during the Romantic menstruation of High German art (late 18th together with early on 19th centuries).

The Latin inscription on the tomb translates to “I likewise lived inwards Arcadia.” This is a 'momenti mori' concept - it's a reminder of the transitory nature of life together with the inevitability of death.

What Kolbe excels at is the detailing the intricacies of leaves together with grasses together with how they overlap. He creates a lot of depth inwards his etchings through real refined usage of calorie-free together with shade.
