About the workAlthough the viewer’s gaze is drawn towards the two bathers, they are not the main focus of the work. They seem tiny in comparison to the nature that surrounds them. The reflections of light, the colour gradations of the leaves and the rhythm of the branches and clouds all captivated the landscape painter Johann Wilhelm Schirmer. When he realised this picture, he was at the height of his fame. He was appointed as the first professor of landscape painting in Düsseldorf in 1839 and established the academy’s excellent reputation in this field.
