About the Item

Skiers in Garmisch, Alpspitze - Adalbert von Wex Period: Early 1900s Provenance: Munich, Bavaria Artist: Adalbert von Wex Technique: Oil on canvas Painting size: 64 cm x 100 cm (25.20 in x 39.37 in) Description: Oil painting on canvas depicting a winter alpine landscape, built on an ascending perspective that enhances the wide expanse of snow in the foreground. The snowy surfaces display a calibrated range of blues, turquoises and cool whites, blended with soft glazes to express the subtle variations of light and shadow typical of the mountain environment. Along the middle register rises a group of fir trees, characterized by a more vertical and textured brushstroke that introduces a material contrast to the brightness of the snow. Among the firs appear several skiers, rendered with essential yet recognizable chromatic marks. Behind them, the mountain chain unfolds in overlapping planes: the shadowed areas are treated with deeper tones, while the upper ridges are illuminated by a grazing light that defines the silhouette of the peaks. The sky is built with broad strokes and diagonal brushwork, evoking wind-driven clouds and giving the entire composition a sense of movement. The scene stands out for its clear spatial structure, a palette coherent with winter atmospheres, and a well-calibrated balance between masses, light and depth. The painting is available with its original frame or, upon request, with a 2 cm antique fir wood frame, custom-made in our restoration workshop. On the back there is a typewritten note from the Emeran Fessnacht OHG Gallery in Munich, dated August 21, 1967, certifying the relining intervention. Since the original canvas bore the artist's signature, the fragment containing the signature was cut out and applied to the back of the stretcher, where it still remains visible as an element of provenance and authenticity. Adalbert von Wex (Munich, 1867 - 1932) A landscape painter of the Munich School and son of the artist Wilibald Wex. Trained at the Munich Academy under Ludwig Willroider and later Karl Peter Theodor von Buttersack, he regularly took part in Munich exhibitions and was a member of the Münchener Künstlergenossenschaft. His production is characterized by mountain landscapes, with particular attention to winter subjects, a genre in which he received critical recognition during his lifetime.
