Created in Trübner’s early years, after he had completed his studies at Hans Canon’s private studio in Stuttgart as well as a brief stint at the Academy in Munich, this work shows an as yet unidentified student. In the years following 1869, Trübner’s work was clearly influenced by the painting style of the great Realist master Gustave Courbet, whose works he saw at the International Art Exhibition at Munich’s Glaspalast. Instead of focusing on detailed, meticulous reproductions of objects, Courbet’s realism is devoted to pure painting itself which stands out for its broad impasto brushstrokes. Aside from landscapes, Trübner also liked to paint human subjects, incorporating the essential ideas of Wilhelm Leibl whose circle he belonged to in 1871. The summer of 1872/73 was spent in his native Heidelberg, partly in response to yet another cholera outbreak in Munich. Thanks to its picturesque landscape, Munich is widely regarded as one of the main thematic sources of Romanticism and landscape painting; however, it was primarily due to its university, the oldest in Germany, and its liberal atmosphere that the city gained prominence in the late 1840s. The student depicted here may have been one of the many young men enrolled at the popular, top-ranking law school.
This work of art was part of the distinguished collection of the Jewish industrialist and art collector Carl Sachs (1858–1943) from Breslau. Over the course of his life, Sachs had acquired a wide-ranging and highly prestigious collection of 19th-century German and French artists with a strong emphasis on Impressionism, which included works by Corinth, Liebermann and Trübner as well as Corot, Courbet, Monet and Renoir.
Facing discrimination and persecution during the rise of National Socialism, Carl Sachs and his wife Margarethe, already at an advanced age, were forced to emigrate to Switzerland in February 1939. In 1943, deprived of the fortune he had to leave behind in Germany, Sachs sold the art collection he had brought to Basel, including the Trübner painting. With the state of Baden-Württemberg returning the painting to the heirs of Carl Sachs in 2022, it is now being offered for sale without any restitution claims attached to it. [KT]
