Charlotte Hampel artwork • watercolour • drawing • previously for sale The white bench

The gifted Charlotte Hampel was a progressive artist for her time. In the early 80s of the 19th century she celebrated triumphs with Impressionist still lifes and genre pieces. Around 1900 she increasingly derived her motifs from nature, which enabled her to apply a certain stylization. She was probably influenced in this by the Viennese Jugendstil artist Ferdinand Andri, whom she married in 1897. The story goes that she gave up her artistry afterwards. However, she continued to paint from time to time, which is evident from this park view, which she executed in the refined lines of the Jugendstil and signed 'Charl. Andri-Hampel '.
