SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
In 1874, he set off on foot for Italy, where he stayed until 1876; from 1885, he lived in Munich.
His travels took him to Andalusia in 1880, Norway in 1894, several regions of Africa and the United States in 1893. From 1897 to 1899, he undertook a round-the-world trip that took him, among other places, to China and Japan in 1898. Paintings resulting from his travels in the Far East were intended for Emperor Wilhelm II and hung in the Silbersaal of the Berlin Palace. In 1914, Wuttke published Reise-Erinnerungen von Studienfahrten rings um die Erde, a book about his study trips around the world.
In his landscapes, small genre scenes often enliven the composition. His painting is described as attentive to nuances of light in his early years, before bright colours came to occupy an increasingly prominent place; his manner, described as spontaneous and fleeting, is sometimes associated with the «pre-Impressionist style». Among the works associated with his name is a View of Cairo, described by Genève Enchères as a signed oil on panel measuring 23 × 13 cm.
This profile brings together identity references for Carl Wuttke and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
