1785 Dated Lower Left Difficult Gessner Halt Inscribed Oak Wood Right Next Steps Tavern Conrad Gessner

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Halt at the Tavern" created in 1785 by Conrad Gessner. The painting, rendered with oil on oak wood, measures 21 x 26 cm and is inscribed and dated lower left: C. Geszner 1785. A closer look reveals the artist's name, Gessner, right next to the steps, although the year appears somewhat challenging to decipher. Conrad Gessner was an esteemed painter hailing from Zurich (1764-1826), known for his exceptional talent and contributions to the artistic world. This particular artwork beautifully captures a scene set in 18th-century Europe—a momentary pause at a bustling tavern. The composition exudes an inviting atmosphere as weary travelers find respite within its walls. The intricate details and skillful brushwork bring life to each character depicted—perhaps merchants discussing their journeys or locals engaging in animated conversations over mugs of ale. Through this photo print, one can appreciate both the historical significance of this era and Gessner's ability to encapsulate it on such a small canvas. It serves as a testament to his mastery of technique and his keen eye for capturing human interactions within everyday settings. As we admire this exquisite piece from the Liszt Collection, let us delve into its narrative; imagining ourselves transported back in time—to that very moment when all activity came to a halt at this charming tavern in 1785 Zurich.
