Antique c1880s Julius Richter Munich Oil Painting Alpine Chamois German School For Sale

Free and Careful Shipping. I track every item I sell carefully. This beautiful antique oil painting measures 25x20 inches. This is a completely original, one-of-a-kind piece that is hand-signed directly on the canvas. The artist signed it "Jul. Richter Mchn" right in the bottom corner to show it came from his studio in Munich. Please note that this is the sought-after 19th-century German landscape artist Julius Richter working out of the Bavarian Munich School tradition circa 1880–1900, not the later 20th-century American surgeon/painter of the same name who is often auto-filled by online listing templates. The artwork shows a family of wild mountain goats (called chamois) up on a rocky ledge looking out over a foggy mountain valley. You can really see the old-school quality when you look at it up close, from the tiny aged cracks in the paint to the way the heavy canvas is hand-tacked to the original wooden frame with old iron nails instead of staples. The back of the piece reveals authentic period craftsmanship, complete with the original linen weave and hand-inserted wooden tension wedges (keys) in the corner joints. I will make sure it is packed up super safely with plenty of protective wrap and fully insured before it ships out to you. Requires a signature upon delivery. Please feel free to message with any questions, thank you.
