Description
Veduta ottocentesca raffigurante la città di Bolzano, vista da oltre la riva destra del torrente Talvera, con il Rosengarten (Catinaccio) sullo sfondo. In primo piano invece scene di svago e vita quotidiana. Si trova in "Tyrol und seine nächsten Umgebungen".
L'artista tedesco Carl Ludwig Frommel, celebre in particolare per i paesaggi, è l'autore di questa non comune veduta di Bolzano fu dipinta dal Frommel ponendo il cavalletto nei pressi del torrente Talvera in maniera tale da avere uno scorcio cittadino, ma potendo mettere in evidenza il paesaggio montano con la valle dell'Isarco e sullo sfondo il lontano Catinaccio. In primo piano sono visibili eleganti personaggi lungo la strada ed altri nel prato all'ombra di un edificio intenti in chiacchiere.
Acquaforte, leggere bruniture, per il resto in buono stato di conservazione.

After his return to Karlsruhe he became Professor of Painting and Engraving at the Akademie in 1817. He executed numerous etchings (e.g. Ponto Lupo in Tivoli, 1815), engravings and paintings from his drawings and watercolours of the Italian landscape, and many of these were published in such folios as Arriccia (1820), Tivoli (1822), Etna (1824) and Vesuv (1832). In them he adopted a classical style of landscape somewhat influenced by the work of Johann Christian Reinhart. It published numerous collections of steel-engravings produced under Frommel's direction, including 30 Ansichten Griechenlands (1830), Carl Frommels pittoreskes Italien (1840) and Baden und seine Umgebungen (1843).
