Wilhelm Süs (1861–1933) - Andromeda am Wasserfall

For sale is a fascinating and historically museum-documented original oil painting by the listed German artist and professor Wilhelm Süs. The work presents a masterful, free interpretation of the famous motif 'Andromeda' (1869) by Sir Edward Poynter. Süs captures the scene with a fine academic brushstroke and a beautiful, classical lighting.

Special highlight (Excellent provenance):
The back of the painting is an absolute dream for collectors. It is comprehensively documented with contemporary newspaper cuttings and a historical vignette from around 1900. The cuttings bear the title 'Painter and Ceramicist: Images by Wilhelm Süs' and document the artist's exhibitions (including in Karlsruhe).
