PATH IN A WOODED HILLSIDE
Description dimensions: 44 x 35,5 cm (h x w) period: First half of the 1880s Oil on canvas. Signed lower right: “Julius Marak”. According to the expert opinion prepared by PhDr. Nadezda Blazicková-Horová, “Path in a Wooded Hillside is a very beautiful work by painter Julius Marák, likely from the mid-1880s. At that time, Marák’s scope narrowed and focused on smaller, hemmed-in areas. His subjects were the forest interior and forest life; he admired forest glades, clearings, paths, meadows, marshes and ponds. The forest was Marák’s second home, the place where he sought solitaires amongst the woods, studied the character and growth of trees, branches and thickets, and examined the appearance of stony and grassy hillsides, streams and trails. With the help of steps hewn from tree trunks and the composition of natural formations and leafy trees, the airy Path in a Wooded Hillside impresses the viewer with its effective tonality, play with light, and assuredness with which the scene is constructed, proving Marák’s mastery of landscapes.”
