AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Luigi Kasimir. Pettau, 1881–1962 Vienna.

City view. 1909.
Original etching on paper.
In the plate, signed and dated “LUIGI KASIMIR 1909.” Cropped: 21.7 x 15.3 cm (8.5 x 6.0 in).

Luigi Kasimir left his mark on the visual memory of old Austria with his topographic precision. His work is distinguished by a virtuoso mastery of graphic intaglio techniques, masterfully uniting architecture and atmosphere.

• Graphic finesse: An outstanding testament to early mastery; the dense, almost painterly linework and the fine aquatint texture confer on the scene an extraordinary three-dimensional depth and tactile tangibility.

• Topographical Oeuvre: The depiction is an exemplary document of Kasimir's lifelong fascination with historicist architecture and the labyrinthine alleys of European metropolises, here in a particularly atmospheric, early rendition.

Biographical testimony: Created in 1909, this page marks the phase of the artistic breakthrough in Vienna, shortly after Kasimir had completed his studies at the Vienna Academy.

• Iconography of everyday life: The composition contrasts the monumental Baroque architecture with the genre scene of a cart in the foreground – an iconic reference to the pulsating, unpolished life of the turn of the century.

• Market exclusivity: Early, hand-dated etchings by Kasimir from the period before World War I are sought-after rarities that, due to their documentary beauty and technical brilliance, have a firmly established place in discerning graphic art collections.

Seller's Story

Art dealing has been in our family: my grandfather was an art dealer, and my mother is an antique dealer. In 2017, I continued this tradition and founded the Antoni Art Dealership—with the goal of making high-quality European art accessible to a new audience. Since then, we have passionately dedicated ourselves to trading paintings from the 19th century to the present. Our portfolio is complemented by our own gallery for contemporary art, where we present and promote current artistic positions. Our expertise, cross-generational experience, and a carefully curated selection make us a special address for collectors, art lovers, and the curious.
