More about this artwork

Eugen Jettel's pastoral masterpiece, "Ford over a River," is an evocative painting that captures the serene beauty of a countryside scene. This landscape presents a gentle river coursing through a lush, verdant environment, where every leaf and blade of grass seems to be painted with meticulous attention to detail.In the foreground, we see a delicate ford where the river diverges around an expanse of shallow water and small, scattered rocks. A lone cow stands in the river, possibly drinking or cooling off, adding a touch of serene rural life to the scene. The background is filled with a variety of trees in various shades of green and autumnal tones, suggesting the richness of the forest surrounding the river.To the right, a wooden bridge stretches across the river, suggesting connectivity and human presence without dominating the natural setting. The colors are primarily earthy with splashes of bright greens and whites, reflecting light and shadow dynamically across the canvas.Jettel's use of light imbues the scene with a tranquil, almost ethereal quality, while details like the grazing animals and the textured vegetation bring the scene to life, making it almost palpable.

Richard Alfred Eugen Jettel (20 March 1845 – 27 August 1901) was an acclaimed Austrian painter celebrated chiefly for his expressive landscapes. He began his artistic education at the esteemed Vienna Academy, where he cultivated the skills and sensitivity that later became hallmarks of his work.

In 1873, Jettel moved to Paris, then a leading hub for the artistic avant-garde. Immersion in the vibrant French art scene allowed him to embrace contemporary developments in landscape painting, broadening his perspective while preserving the individuality of his style.

Upon his return to Vienna in 1897—a defining point in his professional life—Jettel played an instrumental part in shaping the city’s cultural landscape. He was among the founding members of the Vienna Secession, a significant movement that supported progressive art and sought to overturn entrenched academic conventions.

In recognition of his contributions, Jettel received the distinguished rank of Knight of the Légion d'honneur in 1898. He is remembered today as a major figure who connected Austrian and French artistic spheres and made a lasting impact on the development of modern art in Central Europe.
