More about this artwork

Eugen Jettel's evocative painting, "Der Weg im Steinbruch" (The Path in the Quarry), dated 1895, captures a singularly rugged yet serene landscape scene. This artwork features a meandering pathway through a deep quarry. The quarry itself is depicted with steeply sloped sides that converge into a narrow trail, guiding the viewer's eye towards the gentle crest of distant hills visible under a calm blue sky.The use of texture in this painting is especially notable; Jettel's brushwork skillfully renders the rocky terrain with a lifelike ruggedness that you can almost feel. Various shades of browns and greens suggest a natural space that, despite human intervention, remains wild and untamed. Small brush strokes imply bits of vegetation, adding specks of color and life to the otherwise stark environment."Der Weg im Steinbruch" is a masterful representation of light and shadow, which enhances the depth and dimensionality of the quarry walls. Jettel’s painting captures not just a physical location but evokes a feeling of solitude and the passage through time within the isolated confines of nature's reshaping of the land.

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.
