FALLOW DEER.
Gauermann Friedrich's letter of 1852 to his friend Friedrich Fink Wilhilm contains a lively account of a journey that is probably the basis of the actual painting:
"I made a trip through Styria, through Leoben, Kalwang, Rottenmann through the beautiful valley of the Enns to Aussee through Ischl Weißenbach and Unterach am Attersee, which delighted me, was truly heavenly!
This large, beautiful blue lagoon on one side faces the mountains - Höllengebirg, Ziemitz and Schafberg and Lawrence - and on the other, the fertile open fields with small villages and charming cottages. I must admit that I was completely happy and living here is very nice.
One night there was a thunderstorm, in which everything is reflected in the lake, which was remarkable! The nights were bright celestial! We went through Kammer, Schörfling, a nice route to Gmunden, Linz and the Danube. I started a painting based on my initial impressions. "
Gauermann Friedrich, painting underwent a remarkable transformation: intrinsic creative impulse behind his work was no longer in the fantastic imagination, but stemmed from the nature. The manifestations of the effects gave way to depictions of actual conditions and rich emotional scenes , were gradually replaced by simpler issues such as the return to a village at night idyllic landscapes, set against Sennhütte, or watch a steep peak in a distant valley.
In his later works, the activity led to a dependence of the breadth and beauty of nature itself to create an effect on the viewer. Gauermann proved himself a master of Luftmalerei (paintings that adorn the exterior walls of buildings), and these provide "genre" as he called them, a kind of family atmosphere
became image idealized. He was constantly in his native Austria with its breathtaking scenery Cloudy. However, Gauermann unrealistic. Since then painted his studies of nature, but never large paintings he created from his imagination, condensation and adding your own experience to scene. Gauermann method of creating a painting that was eighteenth-century painters: the pencil drawing surface followed by washing and line drawing, but after this the small oil study, which directly precedes the large painting - that the grid is indicated, is shown. However, these individual steps can not be compared with the developmental stages in a process of realization, because they are independent of another, but is continually enriched with new creative impulses. Each of these stages is based on its own source of inspiration, which makes independent entities and independent art form in all respects. Thus, the pen and watercolor in the collection belonging to the Prince of Liechtenstein, Vaduz-Vienna, shares the basic composition of this large painting oil painting , although with some discrepancies. The sheep and cows in the foreground are placed differently, not so compact. Horse and rider became toward the observer rather than presenting a back view. Animals and figures can be distinguished beside the boat in the right of the image. The most visible difference is, however, the sailboat in the open lake, which is totally absent from the painting.
