Im Vordergrund wässert eine junge Frau weiße Bettlaken, daneben spielt ein Kind. Im Hintergrund staffeln sich Häuser mit roten Dächern und die imposante gotische Nikolaus-Kirche von Meran zu Füßen einer gewaltigen Felsabbruchkante, dem Küchelberg.Ein Motiv mit scheinbarer Alltagsidylle. Aber dieses Gemälde wäre nicht ein Meisterwerk von Spitzweg, wenn nicht eine Botschaft, eine Geschichte, in diesem Kunstwerk stecken würde:Die auf dem ersten Blick so leicht mit der Gießkanne hantierende junge Frau leistet in Wirklichkeit Schwerarbeit. Denn gleich nach dem Waschen wurden zu dieser Zeit die gewichtigen Wäschestücke unausgewrungen auf dem Gras ausgelegt und mit der Gießkanne ständig feucht gehalten, damit die Sonne die Stoffe strahlend weiß bleichen konnte.Die abgebildete Magd läuft also immer wieder zum Bach, der an der Stadtmauer entlang rauscht, um die Gießkanne erneut für ihre Tätigkeit zu füllen. Gleichzeitig passt sie auf das neben der Wäsche spielende Kind auf und verscheucht die Katze, die womöglich noch mit ihren Tatzen über die frischen Leinen läuft. Am Ende der Stadtmauer schlendert scheinbar uninteressiert ein Wachsoldat in Uniform. Allerdings sammelt er offensichtlich gerade seinen ganzen Mut. Soll er die junge Frau ansprechen?Beide sind so in ihrer Welt versunken, dass sie nicht bemerken, wie das ganze Geschehen vom viereckigen Wohnturm der Stadtmauer aus genauestens beobachtet wird. Hier beugt sich eine Gestalt genussvoll aus dem Fenster und betrachtet neugierig den Fortlauf der Geschichte.Und schon hat Spitzweg uns Betrachter in die Bildgeschichte hineingezogen. Wir genießen die wunderbaren Details seiner künstlerischen Handschrift, die handelnden Personen, die genau bestimmbaren Pflanzen, die Darstellung des südländischen Städtchens Meran innerhalb der Stadtmauern, das muntere Licht-Schattenspiel. Und gleichzeitig amüsieren wir uns über die versteckten Andeutungen des Künstlers. Zu gerne würden wir in einer zweiten Variante des Bildes erfahren, wie die Geschichte ausgeht.Erläuterungen zum KatalogCarl Spitzweg Deutschland Münchner Schule 19.Jh. Gemälde Dorfleben Malerei Italien SPITZWEG, CARLMunich 1808 - 1885Title: Washing Place in front of the Town. Laundry bleach in Merano with the Küchelberg in the background. Date: Ca. 1879.

Here with additional details to literature and provenance.Provenance:Galerie Xaver Scheidwimmer, Munich;Auction Koller, Zürich, 11.11.1981, no. 5097 with ill.;Private ownership, Austria, 1983-1990;Private ownership, Germany.In this painting Carl Spitzweg uses all the skills of his art: first he depicts a sun-drenched scene at an old city wall with a moat in Biedermeier style. In the foreground a young woman is washing white sheets, next to her a child is playing. In the background, houses with red roofs and the imposing Gothic Church of St. Nicholas in Merano are staggered at the foot of a huge cliff, the Küchelberg.A motif with an apparent everyday feel. But this painting would not be a masterpiece by Spitzweg if there were not a message, a story, in this work of art:The young woman using the watering jug so lightly at first glance is in fact doing hard work. For at that time, immediately after washing, the weighty pieces of laundry were laid out unwringed on the grass and kept constantly damp with the watering can so that the sun could bleach the fabrics brilliant white.So the depicted maid keeps running to the stream that rushes along the city wall to fill the watering can again for her job. At the same time, she keeps an eye on the child playing next to the laundry and shoos away the cat that may still be running its paws over the fresh linen. At the end of the city wall, a guard soldier in uniform strolls seemingly uninterested. However, he is obviously gathering all his courage. Should he approach the young woman?Both are so absorbed in their world that they do not notice how the whole event is being closely observed from the square residential tower of the city wall. Here a figure leans out of the window with relish and curiously watches the story unfold.And already Spitzweg has drawn us viewers into the pictorial story. We enjoy the wonderful details of his artistic handwriting, the characters, the precisely identifiable plants, the depiction of the southern town of Merano within the city walls, the lively play of light and shadow. And at the same time we are amused by the artist's hidden hints. We would love to find out how the story ends in a second version of the painting.Explanations to the Catalogue
