"Forester's House in Weissenbach II (Garden)", (1914) Gustav Klimt
Technic: Oil on canvas Gallery: Private collection/Neue Gallerie (Natter no. 209) Depicted Location: Weissenbach, Austria
Since there is a Forester's House in Weissenbach II, there must also be a number I. It is unknown which of the two Klimt painted first during the summer of 1914 in Weissenbach. He rented a house half a mile from Weissenbach because he wanted his own private space. The Flöge family, with whom he spent summers, took lodgings near Lake Attersee.
The painting depicts a serene, green landscape, with the forester’s house nestled among dense trees. Klimt uses small, precise brushstrokes to give the foliage a rich, textured quality, making the scene feel vibrant and alive. He was experimenting—something he particularly enjoyed in his landscape paintings. The artwork incorporates a hint of the pointillist technique, which can be seen in other landscapes from this period. It was first exhibited in 1916 at the Berlin Secession.
