Arnold Bocklin (After)
The Neiads - Original Woodcut by J.J. Weber - 1898

1898

About the Item

Image dimensions: 24 x 27.8 cm Original title: Die Najaden The Neiads is a black and white xylograph on Japon applied on ivory-colored paper, after Arnold Böcklin, realized by the German artist Johann Jacob Weber (Basel 1803, Leipzig 1880). A really superb plate with lifetime impression, from the collection "Sechzehn Holzscnitte nach Gemälden Arnold Böcklin (Meisterwerke der Holzschneidekunst, Neue Folge Heft V), leipzig, verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber", printed in 1898 by J.J. Weber. All the plates of this print suite are woodcuts on the head wood and taken from Böcklin's most famous paintings. Johann Jacob Weber was the talented executor and creator of the Meisterwerke der Holzschneidekunst series which also includes a famous folder of his woodcuts taken from the artworks by Sascha Schneider. Representing the idyllic scene with neiads playing in the water, the nymphs who preside over all the fresh waters of the earth and possessed healing and prophetic faculties; they are female beings, mostly immortal, while some are mortal even though they have a long life, are very well described in this artwork. This is an incredibly faithful copy of the original masterpiece " Die Najaden" by Bocklin with an autonomous artistic dignity. In excellent conditions, with some signs of the time and a usual yellowing of the paper at the edges. Signed on plate on the sides on the lower margin.
