Waldmüller at the National Gallery: A rebel painter of Alpine light and landscape
By
Laura Cumming
Summary
A review of the National Gallery's exhibition "Waldmüller: Landscapes," which showcases the Austrian painter Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (1793-1865) as a rebellious outdoor painter who broke from studio conventions. The small but charming exhibition highlights his sunstruck Alpine landscapes, his gift for capturing light and atmosphere, and his adventurous approach to painting en plein air — a freedom that wasn't always appreciated by his contemporaries.
