Heinrich Johann von Zügel (German 1850-1941) A farmhand with horses watering at a stream Oil on canvas 99 x 158cm; 39 x 62in This alluring oil by Zügel is typical of his large rural scenes, which nearly always featured farm animals and livestock. He started his training in Stuttgart in 1867 and it was at this point that he discovered his desire to specialise in painting animals and the countryside. After two years he moved to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, but later decided to pursue his own direction and moved to Vienna. On returning to Munich he discovered impressionism and after visiting Paris he changed his style to reflect the atmospheric lighting of the impressionist movement. He later joined the Munich Secession movement as one of their first members. A theme to which he returned frequently was the heavy horses of agriculture. He was not alone in this regard as many artists became preoccupied with the debt humans owed to these hard working animals, who kept farms and the food chain working year in and year out. He painted many of his large canvasses on this theme and this work is a delightful depiction of a team of horses watering after a hard days work on the farm, the farmhand capable of controlling the whole team. It is painted on a large scale which reflected the respect that Zügel felt for these creatures. He worked into his eighties and he was unusual in that he mastered the art of painting on a very large and also very small scale with equal skill and success.
