Lüftlmalerei
Lüftlmalerei (also written Lüftelmalerei ) describes the art form of facade painting native to southern German and Austrian small-town rural areas , especially in Upper Bavaria ( Werdenfelser Land ) and in Tyrol .
Style
The origin of the name is controversial, but it probably comes from the home of the facade painter Franz Seraph Zwinck (1748–1792) from Oberammergau , Zum Lüftl .
The Lüftlmalerei is a popular variant of the Trompe-l'œil (mock painting) from the Baroque and imitates architectural elements. As in high architecture, pictorial cartouches , mirrors and fields are embedded . Their vocabulary ranges from house patron or house sign to biblical depictions to the classic motifs of peasant painting from everyday rural life and hunting. Even banners with mottos are common. The sundial is also a popular element.
The pictures are applied to the fresh lime plaster using a fresco technique , whereby the colors silicate in a chemical reaction with the plaster and the paintings can survive for a long time. Today other weatherproof painting media are also used.
