Twelve views of Nuremberg and elsewhere

Twelve views of Nuremberg and elsewhere

Twelve views of Nuremberg and elsewhere

around 1770 1790


Attributed to Kleemann

The present exhibit is enigmatic: who painted it, for what purpose, and what is the message of the composition of these twelve vedute, which show views of Nuremberg as well as other places? Finely executed in gouache on paper, the work is unsigned. With amazingly roughly drawn lines, it is divided into three rows and four columns, resulting in 12 fields. (...)


 


The upper two lines obviously depict scenes that can be located in or around Nuremberg and are framed by the local city towers. The fields of the lower row show - apart from the Nuremberg university town of Altdorf - unidentifiable and therefore probably more remote places.

(...) A charming family scene in field no. 5 comes to the fore most clearly from the sheet's rich staffage of figures. Dressed in elegant rococo fashion, mother, father and their little daughter are probably looking from the castle bastion past the Neutorturm in the direction of St. Johannis. The striking family scene tempts one to speculate. Were the miniatures, separated by visibly rough lines, created to be cut out and used as a painting for a doll's house (that of the girl depicted?)?


(...) In the search for the author, Ursula Timann's reference to a work by Johann Jakob Kleemann (1739-1790) is helpful. (For the "Hunt of the Ansbach Court" cf. Graphic Collection of the Germanic National Museum, inventory no. HZ 4798/578a) The gouache depicts quite accurately, corresponding to our field no. 6, a hunt of the Ansbach Margrave. In 1771 Johann Jakob Kleemann and his brothers Christian Friedrich Carl and Johann Christoph also created the wall paintings of the "Twelve Months Room" in the Ansbach Residence for the Margrave.

Only a few works by Johann Jakob Kleemann are known, but in recent years three of his works have come onto the market, all of them little larger than postcard size. Two of them depict interiors, the first, a family at table, in front of a wall decorated with landscape paintings, the second, a studio scene in which the wall in the background is also decorated with miniature paintings. Both prove that Kleemann was a master of miniature painting. (...)

Attributed to Kleemann

The present exhibit is enigmatic: who painted it, for what purpose, and what is the message of the composition of these twelve vedute, which show views of Nuremberg as well as other places? Finely executed in gouache on paper, the work is unsigned. With amazingly roughly drawn lines, it is divided into three rows and four columns, resulting in 12 fields. (...)


 


The upper two lines obviously depict scenes that can be located in or around Nuremberg and are framed by the local city towers. The fields of the lower row show - apart from the Nuremberg university town of Altdorf - unidentifiable and therefore probably more remote places.

(...) A charming family scene in field no. 5 comes to the fore most clearly from the sheet's rich staffage of figures. Dressed in elegant rococo fashion, mother, father and their little daughter are probably looking from the castle bastion past the Neutorturm in the direction of St. Johannis. The striking family scene tempts one to speculate. Were the miniatures, separated by visibly rough lines, created to be cut out and used as a painting for a doll's house (that of the girl depicted?)?


(...) In the search for the author, Ursula Timann's reference to a work by Johann Jakob Kleemann (1739-1790) is helpful. (For the "Hunt of the Ansbach Court" cf. Graphic Collection of the Germanic National Museum, inventory no. HZ 4798/578a) The gouache depicts quite accurately, corresponding to our field no. 6, a hunt of the Ansbach Margrave. In 1771 Johann Jakob Kleemann and his brothers Christian Friedrich Carl and Johann Christoph also created the wall paintings of the "Twelve Months Room" in the Ansbach Residence for the Margrave.

Only a few works by Johann Jakob Kleemann are known, but in recent years three of his works have come onto the market, all of them little larger than postcard size. Two of them depict interiors, the first, a family at table, in front of a wall decorated with landscape paintings, the second, a studio scene in which the wall in the background is also decorated with miniature paintings. Both prove that Kleemann was a master of miniature painting. (...)
