Karel Langer (1878 - 1947) LANDSCAPE WITH A BROOK

Academic painter Karel Langer is one of the important representatives of Mařák's school and is a co-founder of Impressionism in our country. He studied in the studio under prof. J. Mařák at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, then studied for another three years at the figural specialty under prof. Ottenfeld. Neo-romantic Landscape with a brook is a delicate and elegant plein air with idyllic colors and hints of light rays on the flowers. Similar paintings can be found in reproductions of Golden Prague or Světozor in the period before the First World War.
