The Painting formed part of Maria Klinge-Weil´s living room decorations during the 1960ies.

The painters signature seems to be removed.

The paintings is a view probably from Neuweilnau Palace towards the village of Altweilnau during the first decades of the 1900 century or earlier and focusses a site, that in later years is occupied by the Kurandt-Hotel (Haus Bergfried / FREUND&DIRKS), .

With personal dedication :

"Maintain Sun in your Heart ! For our dear Ria (Maria) in heartfelt rememberance of her´s M. HAIBACH and P. WEIL (WILL) 18. of May 1924"

The painters signature could refer to the religious art painter K. BAUMEISTER (1840-1932) from Zwiefalten (SWABIAN JURA between Stuttgart and Lake Constance). Floral composition artworks of that artists are known from 1900.

S. Riebovn

39.5 x 29.5 oil on carton

With probable painting site register on reverse side : 

Juieworow / Yuieworow or Jaieworow / Yaieworow

what could refer to :

Jaworiw : Town in Ucrainian oblast Lwiw

Jaworow : District of former Crown Land Galicia and Lodomeria (Ucrainia Oblast Lwiw)

Jaworow : Jewish Forced Working Camp District Lemberg Ucrainia

Suworow (Yuieworow) : Town in Russian Oblast Tula

Suworow : Russian militaries Alexander A. Suworow and Alexander W. Suworow 

Suworow : Via Suworow in Switzerland

The note "YUieworow" seems to have been changed posterior in two letters to "GAieworow" what led to the later wrong translation "Geierhof" (Vultures Court) registered in handwriting of Rosemarie Zanger on the reverse side.

ISLE OF THE DEATH

Heymann or Haymann ? cop. W. Jacobi 1920 or 1926

27 x 35 cms oil on wooden plate

The originary painting Isle of the Death is an artwork of Arnold Böcklin produced repeatedly for 5 times between 1880 and 1886. The present painting is an interpretation inspired by elements of the third and fifth version of Böcklins originals. A remarkably difference to Böcklins originals consist in the missing of the white woman´s barge and an ship-tunnel opening in the coastal rocks unter the left rock column of the island.  

A ship-tunnel-inspiration during the 1920ies might refer to the then existing unique german ship tunnel at Weilburg Lahn-River-Valley constructed between 1844-47. Further known ship tunnels for example in the croatian islands Vis, Brac, Lustica, Dugi, Lastovo and Ploce in France (Brest, Bordeaux, La Rochelle-La Pallice, Lorient, Marseille, Saint Nazaire) and in Norway (Bergen, Trondheim) have been constructed later by german military forces during the second world war to hide submarines.

The image authors reference "cop. W. Jacobi" (1894-1972) could be related to the german artist Wolfgang Jacobi more known as music composer but also enthusiast of painting during his youth.
