Original information about the artwork from Belvedere (© - Belvedere - Belvedere)

In the large number of magnificent bouquets of flowers and fruits rich shells that have arisen in Vienna since the beginning of the 19th century, this view takes almost out weird. The painter has obviously an ensemble at the edge of a body of water so captivated that he thus threw all traditions overboard. As a still life this can not be described, rather it is a segment of nature and therefore the landscape painting associate. Particularly noteworthy is the exact knowledge of the plants, the meticulous description of leaf and flower in different state forms. The painter Josef Lauer numerous flower pieces are known to us. However, his work can hardly traditional still life painting in Vienna are assigned, because it was not the bewildering array of details that make his paintings seem so splendid, but the virtuosity, the fine drawing and vibrancy in the natural form. The exact drawing of flowers and leaves resulting from the curriculum at the Imperial Academy, which provided for the drawing of "field and garden flowers, as well as fruits, butterflies, and Konchilien", creating a "compound of the same in regard to harmony both among themselves, etc., as with respect to the base color of the substance to light and shadow " should be achieved. In addition, the artists operated course of their own accord nature studies, both outdoors and in greenhouses in the Imperial Palace, where were present in addition to the domestic numerous exotic plants. But was not Lauer's specialty, the magnificent still life Dutch model, but the bouquet, which may indeed be artistically arranged, but not even to act as a work of art. The urge to Decorative focused not on Lauer accordingly to the content, but to the composition. Including Wurzbach 1865 noted in his Biographical Dictionary of the Empire of Austria, "Lauer's flower and fruit pieces are hard-working and loyal studies of nature, fresh and true in color, grouped happy and notarize a fine meaningful observation of color play a harmonious composition and a skilled in the execution smooth gradations and transitions ". It is this "observation of the color game" has the painter also animated on the given image. The yellow cowslip, the pale blue hepatica and the purple violets are framed by leaves with different shades of green and accompanied by the lush green foliage of a Efeustammes. As a colorful accent there is the Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae), the fluttering wings with its red blossoms. But so much the flowers and leaves are modeled with all its signs of the transience of nature, so difficult it is even to perceive this floral piece as a section of nature, because the light which spreads in the picture, does not remember the daylight but rather to the artificial light in the studio. Nevertheless, this painting is in the Vienna still life painting because of the unusual subject matter is a special feature. When exactly it originated, unfortunately, can no longer find style and painting technique but it points in the mature phase of the painter. In 1859, Lauer participated exhibition Academy with a picture that was entitled "Spring Flowers" and was fl with 70 reported. In. This amount, which was lower to much as the price of his other work, suggesting the size of the exhibit. Of similar dimensions, the "alpine flowers" may have been that Lauer exhibited in May 1863 Austrian Kunstverein, because this was fl at 60. Estimated. It may be that it is in the present image to one of the two works, the term "alpine flowers", with which the image is on the inventory of the Belvedere, is broad. Of course, the flowers are mainly represented in the Alps, strictly speaking, but is it here to "spring flowers". [Grabner 2010]
