1823
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Montag - Rosenecker Garten vor Salzburg (Monday - Rosenecker Garden near Salzburg) is a 1823 ink by Ferdinand Olivier, a Romanticism work, depicting Monasteri, held at National Gallery of Art.
A quiet garden near Salzburg sits in morning light. Trees frame a wooden fence. A path leads past a bench. The sky is pale, almost white. This is a lithograph from 1823. Lithography was new then. The artist drew on stone with greasy ink. Water kept the ink where it touched, so the print stayed sharp. Look up lithography if you want to see how this works.
Ferdinand Olivier (1785–1841) was a German artist, born in Dessau.
