Hohlweg im Winter

The winter landscape Hohlweg im Winter was created by Eugen Jettel in 1895, as indicated by both the artist’s record and the work’s inclusion in the Belvedere’s holdings.

The painting entered the collection of the Belvedere, part of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where it has remained as part of the state’s holdings. Its presence in the Belvedere’s collection is documented in the institution’s records, which list the work under Jettel’s oeuvre with the accession date aligned to its creation year.

The painting Hohlweg im Winter by Eugen Jettel, created in 1895, is held in the collection of the Belvedere in Vienna. While some records associate the work with the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the primary attribution of its location points to the Belvedere. The artwork is executed in oil on canvas and depicts a winter landscape featuring a snow-covered road, trees, and haystacks. Specific inventory or accession numbers for the piece are not provided in the available documentation.

Eugen Jettel’s 1898 oil painting Hohlweg im Winter presents a winter road winding through a snow‑covered landscape toward a distant cluster of haystacks. Bare trees and low shrubs line the path, while a muted sky hovers above. A solitary figure appears briefly, adding a human scale to the tranquil scene.

Jettel’s training at the Vienna Academy and his extended stay in Paris from 1873 exposed him to both academic and avant‑garde currents. Hohlweg im Winter thus sits at the intersection of traditional landscape conventions and the newer, more personal approach championed by the Secessionists.
