At the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, many German artists who had stayed in Italy used prints as their main creative medium, and Leint was the leader among them. After the Renaissance, Italy has become a tourist attraction for artists. German romantic artists have mostly stayed here for a long or short time. Leint not only made a family here, but also established his artistic reputation here. In 1829, King Ludwig I of Bavaria (1786 ~ 1868) commissioned him to paint four huge Italian landscape paintings (approximately 170 x 270 cm). One can imagine Leint's fame at the time. Leint was born in Hof, Bavaria, and started painting with the encouragement of his teacher in middle school. Originally, he followed in his father's footsteps to study theology, but later turned to artistic creation. In 1783, he came to Dresden, an important art town in Germany at the time, and joined the German early romantic master landscape master Johann Christian Klengel (1751~1824) and studied in the Netherlands. Master's work. In 1789, he received a scholarship from the Marquis of Ansbach and left Drestown to Rome. He had not left when he died in 1847. Living in Rome may be more free than the small duchy of Germany at the time. Here, Leint came into contact with artists from all over Europe, including many of his colleagues in his hometown. This is a positive environment where we can learn from each other, but Leint must also strive to get ahead in the competitive art market. His paintings, drawings, and prints earned him a reputation and a generous income. In 1801, Leint was able to marry a nominally profitable woman and start a family. After he came to Rome, he participated in the publication project of Italian landscape prints by the then-Nuremberg art merchant Johann Friedrich Franenholz: [Malerisch radirte Prospecte aus Italien]. This project took seven years (1792~98) and included 72 sceneries of Rome and its suburbs, Leint and two other German printmakers Albert Christoph Dies (1755~1822) and Ya Jacob Wilhem Mechau (Jacob Wilhem Mechau, 1745~1808) was responsible for 24 works each. From the perspective of scale and era, this publication plan can be said to be the most important achievement in printmaking production at that time, and laid a new model of landscape expression. It can also depict the beauty of places that once appeared in literary works from a realistic perspective. Let people cherish the past and remember the present through historical events. The importance of Leint in the history of art lies in his ability to transform natural landscapes into idealized pictures, combining known styles, themes and shapes, and combining and transforming with his superb skills, giving him a heroic lofty taste. In addition to his 24 works in [Italian Beauty Etching], he also continued to create related prints, totaling 170 pieces. As for his paintings, except for the four in the New Pinakothek collection in Munich today. In addition to the works commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, there are eight historical landscape paintings completed in 1825 at Palazzo Massimi in Rome, and other works are scattered in art galleries all over Europe. Introduction of works: Strictly speaking, the tomb of Horatis and Curiaches in Albano is not a mausoleum, but a monument. The Albano region has been regarded as the birthplace of Roman civilization since ancient times, and this mausoleum commemorates the pioneering achievements of the early days of Rome. The third legendary king of Rome, Tullus Hostilius (c. 673~642 BC), in order to resolve the dispute with Alba Longa (now Albano), The two kings agreed to send three fighters, and the one who survived in the end would win on behalf of his city-state. The six fighters were divided into Horatis, representing Rome, and Kuriachis, representing Albalonga. Although Horatis lost the two first, but in the end the three of Curiaches were individually defeated by the surviving one of Horatis, and Rome won Albalonga. Today, archaeological research believes that this is a monument built by the Roman Emperor Augustus (Augustus, 63 BC – AD 14) in the style of Augustus’s own tomb in order to commemorate the battle in Albano. In the middle is the circular building where the cemetery is located, and four cones are built radially around. Augustus evokes the memory of the great achievements of the Roman ancestors through ancient sacrificial methods. Today, there are only two cones left on this monument. In the picture, only one of them can be seen due to the viewing angle of Leint. The background is the local Santa Maria della Stella church (Santa Maria della Stella). The church in the sixteenth century. Leint chose the ruins of this tomb, which clearly bears the shadow of the 18th-century Italian printmaker Piranesi (Giovanni Battista Piranesi, 1720~1778). Piranitch’s image of managing ruins, the ruins of ancient ruins in the smoky stalks, the dilapidated monuments, transformed the past glory of his hometown of Italy into a new aesthetic experience with the nostalgic nostalgia of his hometown. Leint started a family and business in Italy. He is naturally familiar with the historical sites throughout Italy. He also combines these monuments with his customary landscape expression techniques. In particular, his carving of trees gives them a new sacred artistic conception in the paintings. His own landscape works add lofty imagination. *If you have any detailed questions, please send an email to contact the designer *The main merchandisers of this design hall are mainly Western antiques, old jewellery and home accessories, and old European original prints.
