Moorhütten im Dachauer Moos is the title of a painting by Franz Marc (1880–1916). It is one of the painter's earliest known pictures and is part of the collection of the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See .

history

The picture was created in 1902 and thus dates from the time when Franz Marc studied painting at the Academy of Arts in Munich with Gabriel von Hackl (1843–1926) and Wilhelm von Diez (1839–1907) . Through this Marc received a solid basic education in the style of painting of the 19th century, but did not come into contact with newer art movements. Thus this picture is entirely in the tradition of the Munich Academy .

description

The painting is 17 inches high and 29 inches wide. It was painted on canvas with oil paint .

The lower half of the picture shows the moor landscape of the Dachau Moos , the upper half of the picture is occupied by a sky with clouds. In the middle of the picture is a moor hut in the middle of a group of trees.

The picture is dominated by dark browns and green tones, with which the blue of the sky and ocher-colored areas in the foreground contrast. Details such as the individual leaves of the trees are meticulously executed with fine brushstrokes.
