Lot 198: A duck shoot in a wooded landscape, mountains beyond

Maximilian Joseph Schinnagl (Burghausen 1697-1762 Vienna) A duck shoot in a wooded landscape, mountains beyond oil on canvas 23½ x 34¼ in. (59.7 x 87 cm.)

We are grateful to Professor Helmut Börsch-Supan for proposing the attribution of this picture to Maximilian Joseph Schinnagl. The artist was one of the leading landscapists of eighteenth century Austria. Along with Christian Hilfgott Brand, Franz Christoph Janneck and Johann Georg Platzer, he was influenced by the work of seventeenth century Dutch prototypes, as well as the work of Salvator Rosa. For comparison, see the works by Schinnagl in the Österreichischen Barockmuseum, Vienna.
