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, completely original, one-of-a-kind antique oil painting measures 25x20 inches and is hand-signed \"Jul. Richter Mchn\" directly on the canvas canvas to indicate the artist\'s 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 and painter of the same name who is often incorrectly auto-filled by online listing templates. The artwork itself beautifully depicts a family of wild mountain goats, or chamois, gathered on a rugged rocky ledge looking out over a vast, foggy alpine valley.You can really see the authentic antique 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 stretcher bars with old iron nails instead of staples. The back of the piece reveals true period craftsmanship, complete with the original linen weave and hand-inserted wooden tension wedges 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.
