The Art History Mystery Challenge No. 24 - Moritz Von Schwind - Morning

The Art History Mystery Challenge

Welcome to our totally disorganized art museum! The challenge is to help us identify all the masterworks in our virtual museum. We'll post a piece of the painting and one clue to get you started. Can you name the artist and the title of the painting?

Pieces of the painting and clues to the artist's identity will be added every 24 hours until we have a winner, then the next painting in our collection will be posted. Feel free to use any resources at your disposal to help in your search. Challenge winners will receive a shiny award badge that we will add below their profile image. You will retain this award until someone else wins the award.

The AHM Challenge is open to all forum members, not just ws oil painters, so join in and have some fun with us!

If you would like to host a AHM Challenge painting; please send a PM to the Challenge Moderator Callie to receive instructions and notice when to post your painting. Be prepared to check in frequently while hosting a challenge!



Clue = Nationality Austrian

I'm going to be out of town tomorrow and leaving really early in the morning so I need to post this early. I'm sorry if this messes things up for someone.



Clue = born in 1804

How about Moritz Von Schwind, Austrian artist 1804 to 1871.

The painting is "Morning"



Here's a link to a very comprehensive biography of the artist.
