a Wilhelm Trübner painting called “Neuburg Gates, Heidelberg (1913)”, that reminded me of a Wendy Cope poem I read a long while ago called “After The Lunch”.

Trübner was a German realist painter and grew an affinity with, as well as, mastered landscape paintings. i discovered his brilliance through wikiart.org. Cope, on the other hand, belongs to the contemporary times and is well-known for her short, witty, moving poetry. i wish i could take a peek into the brains of both artists while they were creating these pieces, watch their thoughts move and form, capture their relevance in real time.

The son of a German jeweller and goldsmith, the painter Wilhelm Trübner began studying painting at the Kuntschule in Karlsruhe in 1867.  After studying for a brief spell in Stuttgart, he returned to Munich, where in 1871 he made the acquaintance of Wilhelm Leibl, a Naturalist painter who had met Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet, among others, during his stay in Paris. Encouraged by Leibl, he dropped out of the academy together with his colleagues Carl Schuch and Albert Lang, with whom he went to paint in the Lake Starnberg area. With their new master they had the chance to become acquainted with the new painting trends of their French contemporaries and espoused pure painting in which priority was given to formal qualities. The years he belonged to the Leibl-Kreis (Leibl Circle) are regarded as the artistic peak in Trübner’s career, although his interest in formal questions during this period distanced him from critics and public.
