A pair of oil on canvas paintings featuring two landscapes by Christoph von Bemmel (1707-1782). One of the paintings shows a river fall, with a large rock in the centre separating the watercourse. This configuration is similar to the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen. On the left bank of the river, a fortified tower is placed in the same place as the castle of Laufen, which is still preserved to this day.<\/p>\n
The second painting shows a river mouth where two fishing boats are trying to maneuver in rough water. Waves break at the bottom of the rocks, above which a fortified tower rises in the centre of the painting.<\/p>\n
Each canvas is signed “CVB” for Christoph von Bemmel.<\/p>\n
Christoph von Bemmel came from a family of many artists. He was born in 1707 in Nuremberg, lived in Mannheim, then moved to Strasbourg in 1760, and became a master in 1768 by presenting a landscape. Bemmel was very active, and his landscapes and overmantel paintings are still preserved today, with a predilection for fire scenes. Several of his paintings can be found in Alsatian museums (Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg, Mus\u00e9e d’Unterlinden, Mus\u00e9e de Saverne), as well as in German museums (Mus\u00e9e de Stuttgart, Ch\u00e2teau de Bayreuth). The figures are always painted from behind, a recurrent characteristic of Bemmel.<\/p>\n
