Anton Dieffenbach German
The view through a window was one of the defining pictorial motifs of the first half of the nineteenth century. This painting by the young Anton Dieffenbach depicts a dark interior space and the sunlit greenery beyond the panes of glass. Although the subject is quite simple, it conveys a sense of yearning and the promise of discovery.
