Waters and the sea are enticing picture subjects. Anyone who hangs a sea or river painting on their wall can set off on a little journey at any time and experience the fascination of water while looking at the picture.
Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler, also known as a painter of mountain landscapes, presents us with "Lake Geneva" as a supernaturally beautiful body of water in brilliant shades of blue and turquoise, merging into a sky with numerous clouds. Trees, grasses and mountain ranges in the distance radiate a serene summer mood from the viewer's elevated vantage point.
Fascinating, almost mystically enraptured, William Turner paints "The Blue Rigi" on Lake Lucerne. Painted in 1842, the watercolour captivates with its pasty tones, rapturous atmosphere at sunrise and modern painting technique, which is why Turner is not without reason regarded as a forerunner of Impressionist painting.
Hokusai presents water as an overwhelming force of nature. In "The Great Wave off Kanagawa from the series 36 Views of Mount Fuji", the famous Japanese representative of colored woodcuts in the ukiyo-e style knows how to make the elemental force of water palpable. Even Mount Fuji in the distance seems small and powerless in comparison. The Japanese artist concentrates on a few colours. Therefore, this woodblock print appears particularly powerful and rich in contrast.
Waters can also be reproduced in art in exactly the opposite way. Frederic Edwin Church shows a mountain lake nestled between high rock faces. No human disturbs the quiet yet raw beauty of this sublime natural setting.
Painters have always devoted themselves to details of water. "The Way of the Seagull" by Richard Willis primarily depicts churning, gray-blue seas as night falls. A small seagull courageously makes its way from right to left along the churning water.
Felix Vallotton sketches water in harmonious interplay with nature, while Plinio Nomellini highlights marine treasures in beguiling color.
