MWW Artwork of the Day (8/27/20) Emil Jakob Schindler (Austrian, 1842–1892) View of Ragusa (Blick auf Ragusa)(1890) Oil on canvas, 140 x 180 cm. Private Collection

The people shown in the foreground are the artist’s wife, the Hamburg singer Anna Bergen, and their daughter Alma, who later married Gustav Mahler and Franz Werfel. The figures on the right in the middle of the work are the painter Carl Moll, shown dressed as a gardener, and Schindler’s second daughter, Grete, who later married the painter Wilhelm Legler. Schindler had rented a house in Ragusa which is clearly visible at the edge of the cliffs. During severe Sirocco winds the waves would break over the cliff, creating a magical spectacle. The work was executed in 1887 during Schindler’s second journey to the Dalmatian coast. Schindler is doubtless the most outstanding practitioner of Austrian mood painting. “He is regarded as a spiritus rector, a leadership figure and shining light”The work here may be regarded as one of the most, if not the most important of Emil Jakob Schindler’s paintings.
